Not yet.  Thge Linux flash player is a couple of versions behind the 
Windows version.  A pain for visiting some sites.  There are also a couple 
of open source flash players, but they only handle old versions and are 
pretty buggy at this point.  (One of them eats my AMD64 3700+ for lunch 
when trying to play a flash file. Can't remember the name at the moment. 
Need more coffee.)

No good solutions at this point.  Maybe now that Adobe has taken over 
Macromedia that they will produce a current player.  Or not...
