Flash game doesn't load for me either, though the ad works like you said.
It doesn't seem to work on my Netbook which too runs Flash player 10.

Has this ever worked before on another version, distro or another OS?

It worked when I used 8.10

Very strange, sorry but I can't help you on this one.

The only thing I can suggest is contacting the site about your problem or sticking around here and seeing if someone else has a solution.

Try and find the game on another site?

I don't seem to get it because it seemed to work for other people.

I installed flash via the ubuntu-restricted-extras in the Synaptic Package Manager. I have no problems with flash at all, although I haven't tried the game you mentioned but text twist 2 works for me.

I'd say the problem isn't with Flash itself but what even event occurs when the ad finnishes and the game is loaded.

It's possible that its a java script or something.

Like I said, contact www.addictinggames.com about your problem.

I don't think it is the site. I was just playing games off this site last night before I did a full format and upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04 from 8.10. None of the games I was playing last night worked after I did the upgrade and they still don't work. Unless the site is having problems and this is a major coincidence, you are wrong.

Never mind. I just solved my problems by uninstalling everything to do with flash and then going to Adobe's site and download flash directly from them. Have you tried this?

I've never seen this many flash problems ever.

Try downloading the .deb from adobe's website.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/thankyou/?installer=Flash_Player_10_for_Linux_(.deb)

Please let me know if my solution doesn't work for you.

None of these worked I am thinking that maybe I might not have uninstalled all of it. I am not sure.

Well, then I know nothing more of how to solve it. Sorry can't be of help. Like I said, what I did I uninstalled everything to do with flash and then reinstalled using the Adobe package. Looks like Burke9077 linked it directly for you. I verified everything being uninstalled by going to Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins in Mozilla Firefox. If there was one to do with flash, I went back to the package manager, found it and uninstalled it. After all that I went to Adobe's site and click on the Get Adobe Flash Player link.

I believe the site has an incompatibility error with the newer version of Firefox in 9.04.

I highly recommend contacting the site like I said before.

But it is possible that it is a bug in Firefox. You might want to move this to the bug reporting section. for Firefox-3.0 package
