I would like to download a Flash game and play it without using Firefox under Ubuntu Lucid - any ideas how?

I can download the game fine, I'm just wondering how to play it without Firefox. Is there a standalone Flash Player I can use?

In case it helps anyone, in order to transfer my save games I explored ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/#SharedObjects to find a folder with the name of the website I'd been playing it on. I then copied the folder contents into #localWithNet. HTH – Andy May 29 '10 at 19:45

I suggest you try Adobe's "Linux debugger and standalone players" package (TGZ) which can be found at Adobe Flash Player - Downloads. Excerpt:

2/11/2010 Updated Linux debugger versions (aka debug players or content debuggers) of Flash Player 9 are now available. Additionally, the Linux standalone player (projector) is available for developers who wish to publish projectors on Linux operating systems [my emphasis]
