You should be able to do this from either the add/remove programs dialog or either the command line or the synaptic package manager by looking for the package flashplugin-nonfree.

For command line, type:
"sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree"

Then put in your password when it asks for it.

PS - The nonfree doesn't mean you have to pay for it, just that it doesn't fit the GNU definition of free software. In other words, it's not open source.
 
I'm new to Linux, so please respond in the simplest possible terms. I've tried most everything I can Google, but nothing worked. Thank you.
