Enable Flash Player For Chrome In Linux

Adobe Flash Player is is a multimedia platform used to add animation video and interactivity to webpages.The synaptic package manager provides a flah plugin which may or may not work....It didn't work for me!!!
Here is an alternative way to do so...

Download the .tar.gz file found at the link  http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

Extract the file to get file libflashplayer.so

create a file named plugin at  opt/chrome/ by the command


sudo mkdir /opt/google/chrome/plugins



Now move the file to the created folder using

sudo cp /location/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so /opt/google/chrome/plugins


Now the launcher command has to be edited by the following steps.

Right click at Applications and click on edit menus




Under the internet look for google chrome right click to  get properties 


Change the command as

/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --enable-plugins %U

Restart Chrome and you are done !!!!!!
