you need to download the flashplayer plugin,
flashplayer is not incuded in ubuntu be default because flash is not opensource, not legal to include

goto to the desktop menu
"system"
"administration"
"software sources"
add proprietory, restricted

goto to the desktop menu
"system"
"administration"
"synaptic package manager"
hit the reload buttons
then do a search for flash
and select what flash player to install
