The Opera browser uses the Shockwave Flash plugin too, or can
if it's not already installed.

VLC plays just about any video format, once you've installed
enough codec's for it.

The Opera browser can also be told to use VLC instead of the
default viewer setting for any mime type.  This is true for
both Windows and Linux.  Generally, I just set Opera to use
VLC for the common video formats.
