Adobe Systems has finally released the long-awaited Adobe Flash Player 9 for Linux. This version of Flash Player was meant to be feature-comparable to Adobe's latest Windows and Mac OS versions, and is the first version of Flash on Linux that really is just as good as the Windows and Mac OS versions. Additionally, a tutorial on how to install it on Ubuntu and on Fedora.

Hope this works

I used earlier builds of Flash9 in Linux and I always felt it wasn't finished. For example when my mouse cursor was over flash applet, it was stealing my pressed keys, mouse wheel didn't work. I really hope this is fixed and it is not intention to not return keys back to browser if they're unused... anybody noticed it?

It probably felt that way because it wasn't finished, that's why it is called a beta
