How to use Gnash flash player?

I'm running Fedora Core 11 (i think; it's whatever the latest full version is to date) and using the 'software updater' it decides i suddenly need to merge my Shockwave flash player with Gnash. WTF?
Not cool bro, not cool. at the moment i sometimes get the interface gui for YouTube (like when someone posts on facebook and the http has to be differnt, if not just for facebook itself) but now i get a apparently better right-click menu consisting of things, but now the backround is void. for me it's a tinted dark dark olive green/gold color (that's just because of my color scheme though, most people's would probably be black) and i've messed with preferences. I do not know that much, my solution would be to uninstall Gnash, but it has merged now, even when i read Shockwave's description in the list of add-ons, and as my father installed this, had to spend a couple hours working round a 'user-friendly' system, but i suppose linux is never user-friendly, eh?
i am not in possession of root, nor would i know how to uninstall and re-install shockwave, or adobe or anything similar, and my dad is rebuilding the system on Saturday (because of a few mistakes he made when crafting the user accounts (btw, copy+paste, not a good idea)
BUT i still will seek an answer, as that is in my nature, even should my simple solution come soon. Gnash seems to be a very behind the scenes project, the "help" only consists of credits and copyrights and such.
So honestly, unless you have Fedora 12 or such, i doubt you will even know what i'm talking about. :P
And perhaps it is tied with my dad just copying user accounts, that has caused many many errors already (wine doesn't work, firefox "crashes," and other odds and ends situations)
Thank you, g'night
