I am aware of the player located here: http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.html and I have downloaded the projector file for linux and unpacked it. However, I can't get the thing to work.... Any suggestions?

1) You could install Google Chrome which has flash plugin built in or

2) Use this command to install flash-plugin sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer or

3) If you wish to use Chromium or Firefox follow this guide Install Flash

  • Enable canonical partners in software sources

  • Run sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin

Enable the Canonical Partner repository and install the adobe-flashplugin package. It installs Flash for both Firefox and Chromium.

As regards Firefox the official version is pretty old, but there is a Flash Plugin 23 Beta in pipeline. If you want the beta version for Firefox in advance, you can install a modified version of adobe-flashplugin from a PPA of mine.

Downloading and running the projector files that you linked worked fine for me. Here's a picture (with my name blacked out):

Either just giving the file as an argument in the terminal or pasting the .swf file's location in the URL bar after executing it worked for me with both the debugger and non-debugger versions.
