You can enjoy games and anim on a Linux computer, so first download the player from macromedia web site :
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/...ad/alternates/

Look for Linux Mozilla Browser compatible player i.e. Flash Player 7 for Mozilla 1.2 and
Click the "Download Now" button. A dialog box will appear asking you where to save the Installer. Save the Installer to your desktop or home directory.

Next you need to Unpackage the file using following command:
Code:
cp install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz /tmp
cd /tmp
tar -zxvf  install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz
A directory called install_flash_player_7_linux will be created just go to directory:
Code:
 cd install_flash_player_7_linux/
If you are non-root user
Now type command ./flashplayer-installer to run the installer and just follow information on screen.
Code:
 
./flashplayer-installer
If you are ROOT user
Then simply copy files to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins directory:
Code:
cp libflashplayer.so flashplayer.xpt  /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
restart browser and enjoy
