Is there a standalone Flash Player for Linux? [closed]

I would like to download a Flash game and play it without using Firefox under Ubuntu Lucid - any ideas how?

I can download the game fine, I'm just wondering how to play it without Firefox. Is there a standalone Flash Player I can use?

I suggest you try Adobe's "Linux debugger and standalone players" package (TGZ) which can be found at Adobe Flash Player - Downloads. Excerpt:

2/11/2010 Updated Linux debugger versions (aka debug players or content debuggers) of Flash Player 9 are now available. Additionally, the Linux standalone player (projector) is available for developers who wish to publish projectors on Linux operating systems [my emphasis]

Edit: The newer version of this can be found here - you can download & extract this, and run it by opening the flashplayerdebugger file.

Try Gnash:

Try CrutziPlayer:

It executes the flash plugin, but uses xcomposite, xfixes and cairo to scale the output from native swf resolution to fullscreen.

Try Adobe's Flash Player Projector 24, which runs natively on Linux 64-bit now. I recommend using it on a 64-bit Ubuntu 16.10 system. (32-bit Linux Systems can run the 32-bit Windows version via Wine):

If you have Ubuntu, try this command:

sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin

through a shell.
