I had meant to send this to the original post by Mike Wright, who 
started this thread:

Don't know if this will help, but
how about using
youtube-dl (yum -y install youtube-dl)
to download the flash file?
After  you download it, you can play it with any
of the linux media players like vlc and mplayer,
among  others.
In addition, there is the firefox add-on called
"video downloadhelper",  url
downloadhelper.net
