What does your "about:plugins" page say? (For explication, see the about:plugins subthread.) Or do you have some other diagnostic which indicates these are not the same?
It does say "Shockwave Flash". Now isn't that interesting, because Adobe itself says they're different things. In the download section at http://www.adobe.com/products/ , they're listed separately and, as Sorin pointed out, Shockwave isn't even available for Linux.
Anyway, did you download Flash for Linux at http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer ?
