I've almost always found with a new 'buntu installation that:
1 - Flash doesn't work out of the box.
2 - There are a heck of a lot of flash this and flash that packages in Synaptic, which seem like they must be notably redundant.
3 - The first one I try is never sufficient.
4 - If I keep installing and rebooting occasionally, eventually some combination of what I installed will start working.
I know that's an absurdly hit and miss approach but it is all I've figured out. It's working for me now on 13.10, Saucy. Here are the packages I have that look like they might be relevant:
browser-plugin-gnash
flashplugin-installer
get-flash-videos
gnash
gnash-common
libjs-jquery-jplayer
libquivi-scripts
libquivi7
minitube
nomnom
quvi
xmms2-plugin-flv
vlc
mplayer
