copy and paste the following into /etc/yum.repos.d in a file titled 
macromedia-i386.repo:

<!--start here-->

[macromedia]
name=Macromedia for i386 Linux
baseurl=http://macromedia.rediris.es/rpm/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://macromedia.mplug.org/FEDORA-GPG-KEY

<!--end here-->

then do a yum install flash-plugin

that way, you cana manage it via a repo
