I'm looking at what I have on my machine now
-rw-r--r-- 1 pfred1 pfred1 4.7M 2010-08-18 01:21 install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz
tar xzvf install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz
Doing that nets you:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pfred1 pfred1 12M 2010-07-28 03:56 libflashplayer.so
Move that file into your browser's plugins directory and you should be all set. I cannot be more specific than that because every system is different but I can give an example of where mine is located and how I managed to find it
/usr/local/seamonkey/seamonkey/plugins/libflashplayer.so
locate plugins | less
(hit your spacebar to scroll through the list [b] lets you go back)
Oh if you don't have locate then try:
find /usr/ -name plugins | less
but that is going to be pretty slow.
Also it seems your distribution packages the plugin and if you can use your distribution's package management system that is always for the best. Although how Ark works I've no idea.
Good luck and enjoy Linux.
