Step 1:

Use the Konqueror settings dialog and check the plugins tab. Make sure
Konqueror can see your flash plugin and that it does search the directory
flash is in.

Settings -> configure konqueror... -> plugins -> "plugins" tab -> "scan for
plugins"

And then check that the flash plugin is in the list of available plugins, or
add the directory it's in to the list of folders to search, and click on "scan
for plugins" again.

Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> Web Browing -> Plugins -> Plugins

Adobe puts the plugins in /opt/netscape/plugins{,32} with symlinks to the .so
in /usr/lib{32,64}/nsbrowser/plugins

Make sure something compatible with those directories is in the Folders pane
and the plugin itself is listed in the Plugins pane

If that all checks out and you still can't use Flash, then we move onto the
next step
