Konqueror will run Netscape plugins just fine in a helper process.

Check Settings..Configure Konqueror..Plugins. There's a button labelled "Scan 
for new plugins" which might be all you need.

Just make sure you don't have any old flash player binaries lying around. I 
had trouble with Konqueror when I installed Flash 9 because I had a Flash 7 
plugin somewhere in ~/.mozilla.

Under the "Plugins" tab, the checkbox "Use artsdsp to pipe plugin sound 
through aRts" is checked in the default Kubuntu profile.

If you're using Ubuntu (or Debian I presume?), I highly recommend using the 
Adobe Flash Player installer package.
