The installation of adobe flash on Slackware is quite a simple process actually. It requires 4 steps.

First, open a terminal then type su to get a root shell.

Next run the following command to get the latest version of adobe flash 10 from adobe.
root@paulhenry-laptop:~# wget http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz

Next uncompress the file you just downloaded.
root@paulhenry-laptop:~# tar -zxvf install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz

Then simply copy the uncompressed library file to the /plugins directory of firefox.
root@paulhenry-laptop:~# cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/

Restart (or start) firefox and look in Tools->Addons->Plugins and Shockwave flash should be installed!
