Taken, sucessfully, from

KMPlayer is my media player of choice as it allows you to trivially switch
between XINE, MPlayer and GStreamer backends and, as of version 0.10.0, has a
nifty backend that allows you to use XEmbed-supporting plugins, including
Adobe’s Flash plugin, which can then be embedded in Konqueror to allow Flash
to work trivially.

HOWTO:

Install KMPlayer. It is included in all the major distributions I’ve ever
used. Ensure it is installed/compiled with the “NPP” backend enabled which
allows the playback of Netscape XEmbed plugins

Run KMPlayer so it creates its config file. Close it. (This step probably
isn’t necessary but it won’t do any harm)

Open “~/.kde/share/config/kmplayerrc” in a text editor of your choice. Add the
following to the end of the file:

[application/x-shockwave-flash]
player=npp
plugin=/opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so

Change the “plugin=” line depending on where the Adobe Flash plugin was
installed on your distribution. The above example is where it is installed on
Gentoo. (If people could reply with the location of it on their distribution
that would be great, thanks!).

Open Konqueror and click “Settings > Configure Konqueror…”. In the new window
navigate to “File Associations” in the left-hand panel and
select “application/x-shockwave-flash“. Click the “Embedding” tab and
click “Add..“. Select “Embedded MPlayer for KDE” from the new window. If it
is not there then you may need to restart KDE or run “kbuildsycoca” from a
terminal. Close all the opened windows.

Enjoy a working Flash in Konqueror!

As at least one of the commenters from the blog, I didn't habe an
application/x-shockwave-flash association, so had to create it.
