Googling for CentOS+flash

Yes, I did, after which I attempted to install flash-plugin mozilla-swfdec 
swfdec swftools - the packages listed that appeared to be relevant.  It failed 
with various dependencies, which I could not resolve, which is why I thought I 
must be missing a repo.  However, I have just managed to install flash-plugin 
by itself.  It seems I was distracted by all the dependencies which must have 
been for swfdec.
