I am using Opera 37.0 on Ubuntu 15.10 (64 bit). Opera shows that the Flash Player needs to be updated. I cannot find any option of updating the plugin. Tried Prefrence-- but there is no advnaced settings.

Install the package adobe-flashplugin from Canonical Partner.
This is really easy and you even get automatic updates.

First you should check if flash player is properly installed:
sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --status
In new Opera from 15 version the only most appropriate way to flash player work is using PPAPI flash player interface supported by default in multiverse repository in Ubuntu, not adobe-flashplugin and you don't need install alternative repository. First install flash player :
sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree
It will download full chromium browser to unpack flash player plug-in.
sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install
and last:
sudo apt-get update
To check if flash player is installed properly :
sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --status
after that flash player can be verified on adobe site here.
Full description how to install this plug-in is here.

Yes, it's broken. Since
adobe-flashpluginin Canonical Partner provides the latest version, it does not make sense to point users to a complicated workaround. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Dec 03 '16 at 00:00 -
Case is open You don't know what will be happen with PPAPI, now is only one solution what I provided, and You cannot decide for other people what is proper, let them decide for themselves. – Daro from Poland Dec 03 '16 at 00:14
