probably easiest to just install their repository package...

rpm -ivh \
http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/i386/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

and then...

yum install flash-plugin libflashsupport

This would install both flash-plugin and the support to make sound work
in flash on Fedora 9. Fedora 10 doesn't need the libflashsupport
package.

This way, you will always get the newest version of flash-plugin
suitable for your system which I have to believe would be
flash-plugin-10.0.15.3
