well, thers gnash: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
theres the flash_plugin_non_free: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P2_Platform=Linux

macromedia flash 9 would be developed for linux along with windows and mac, so in the near future we would be able to create flash movies with linux just like in windows.

also, wine can run macromedia flash 8.5, there are plenty of how-to's around for that...
