Is there a standalone Flash Player for Linux?

Question

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 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): https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.html

Try CrutziPlayer: http://www.crutzi.info/crutziplayer

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

If you have Ubuntu, try this command:

sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin

through a shell.
