Ok, I'll try to be as specific as possible. If you downloaded the file from Adobe's website it should be saved in your Home folder, install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz
Ark is a archive manager similar to PKZip for Windows. It is part of the base Kubuntu install. Right click on install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz On the menu that shows up select "Extract", and then on the submenu select "Extract here" This will extract the contents of the archive and create a new folder in your home folder called install_flash_player_7_linux
Once this step is completed open up Konsole. On the program menu click System, then Konsole. in the Konsole window type this command:
cd install_flash_player_7_linux
and hit Enter. The command cd means to change the directory you are in. Then type in
./flashplayer-installer
and follow the directions. You will have to hit Enter twice, then make sure your web browser is closed, hit Enter again. When it asks you if you want to proceed with the installation hit y, then Enter. The default directory it asks you if you want to install it into is fine. Then it will say Installation complete, and asks you if you want to perform another install. Type n, hit Enter and close Konsole.
Now open Konqueror and try a website that you know has flash on it. If Flash still does not work, then click on Settings in the Konqueror menubar at the top, then Configure Konqueror. Select the Plugins icon at the bottom left, then click the button that says "Scan for New Plugins", and click ok. You may have to close Konqueror and reopen it for it to see Flash. Try the page with Flash on it now and you should be good to go. If you still have problems feel free to post on this thread, I'll be glad to try whatever else I can do to help.
