Someone is working on this problem, however.

Holy crap, now that's useful.

Jason, have you tried it?  Has anyone else?

Not yet. Thge Linux flash player is a couple of versions behind the Windows version. A pain for visiting some sites. There are also a couple of open source flash players, but they only handle old versions and are pretty buggy at this point. (One of them eats my AMD64 3700+ for lunch when trying to play a flash file. Can't remember the name at the moment. Need more coffee.)

No good solutions at this point. Maybe now that Adobe has taken over Macromedia that they will produce a current player. Or not...
