With 'flashplugin-nonfree" your on the right track.

Navigate to "System > Administration > Software Sources" and enable everything but 'proposed' and 'backports'.

Now, run
"sudo apt-get update"
"sudo apt-get autoremove totem-mozilla"
"sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer flashplugin-nonfree"

You should be sorted for video web content.

As an aside, a "flashdrive" is something like a usb stick.

Hey randy,
If the original question is solved can you mark this as solved and then raise a different question for anything else you may need advice on?
This leaves the questions as a useful searchable repository for others looking for similar solutions.
Cheers,
Tony.
