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.

Also, there is this version available with the debugger version of Flash.

Excellent. Thanks for confirming it worked for you. – Chris W. Rea – 2010-05-30T13:48:49.703

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.

Agreed; even though it hasn't been updated in ages at this point, CrutziPlayer still installs and runs fine on a modern (Ubuntu) system these days. I'm glad it exists. – DaVince – 2017-04-04T06:01:58.797

If you have Ubuntu, try this command:
sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
through a shell.

1-1: That's the browser plugin, not the standalone player. – MestreLion – 2014-07-26T08:55:14.910
1In case it helps anyone, in order to transfer my save games I explored ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/#SharedObjects to find a folder with the name of the website I'd been playing it on. I then copied the folder contents into #localWithNet. HTH – Andy – 2010-05-29T19:45:22.727
