This is what I do to get flash working again in Chromium:

First install pepperflashplugin-nonfree when it's not installed.

Then do this as root:
----------
cachedir="/var/cache/pepperflashplugin-nonfree"
debfile="google-chrome-stable_36.0.1985.143-1_amd64.deb"
cd /tmp/
wget https://vandervlis.nl/files/$debfile
dpkg-deb -x $debfile unpackchrome
sofile=unpackchrome/opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so
[ -e $sofile ] ||
sofile=unpackchrome/opt/google/chrome-unstable/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so
[ -e $sofile ] ||
sofile=unpackchrome/opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so
mv -f $sofile /usr/lib/pepperflashplugin-nonfree
chown root:root /usr/lib/pepperflashplugin-nonfree/libpepflashplayer.so
chmod 644 /usr/lib/pepperflashplugin-nonfree/libpepflashplayer.so
mv $debfile $cachedir
----------

Then restart Chromium and flash should work.
Most code comes from: /usr/sbin/update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree
