When you went to the link you show above:

http://www.stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_5_installation_notes.html#Flash

The first thing it states is:

Be sure you have configured the Macromedia repository as described in
the Yum section above.

If you scroll up on that page you would find the instructions....

gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/macromedia.repo

(you could use whatever editor you like)

You put this in the file....

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


Ed....

I think you need to start learning to read things more carefully.....
