here is answer for this question and that is all : http://dc505.wordpress.com/2012/08/1...ork-in-bt5-r3/
"
1. Download the flash player from adobe. I had to use 10.3 because for some reason the newest would not work.

A. Here is the link to the old players there is a ton ( http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/...-versions.html )

2. make a directory for the file and mv the tar file to that directory

A. mkdir flash

B. mv (tar file) flash/

3. extract the file

A. tar xvzf (the tar file here)

4. Now copy the libflashplugin.so to the plugins directory and you may have to create it so .. create it

A. cd /.~mozilla

B. mkdir plugins

C. cp -f libflashplugin.so /.~mozilla/plugins

Now restart your machine and that should work…

if not just to be safe there are other locations that you can put the file in

/usr/lib/firefox/plugins

/usr/lib64/firefox/plugins

/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins
"

I have folow all this steps and restart PC and now is working

Thank you
That was way which for me was ok ..
Appreciate your support
Can close thread but don't forget i have used adobe flash 10.3 version
