This is a bit off-topic for debian-devel, and should probably be posted
as a question to debian-user@lists.debian.org. Please send replies
there.
Up-to-date flash support is provided by the flashplugin-nonfree package
available from Debian's unofficial backports.org [0]. There is no
gnash backport available, but that would be something nice to have
if someone were interested in that (each backport needs an interested
maintainer).
Best wishes,
