The disadvantage of doing it that way, I think, is that you will not
automatically get updates.  Installing it from the Ubuntu repository
will automatically get updates.  I don't know what the best thing to
do now is though.  In your situation I think I would uninstall the one
you installed manually and then, in the software centre, search for
Adobe and install the Adobe flashplugin there.  I am not a flash
expert however so there may be a better solution to your problem.
