You need to be more descriptive of your problem. What isn't working, audio or video or both? How did you install flash plugin?

Flash - FedoraProject

Make sure you do not have swfdec or gnash installed simultaneously. They will interfere with the non-free adobe flashplayer.

The best way to learn is by doing and being wiling to research solutions to problems. There is a ton of information on the internet that can help you. Make sure you keep backups of critical files, be willing to experiment a little, and know you're probably going to f** up your system at some point.

In the Firefox address bar, type:
about:plugins

This will give you info on all the plugins firefox is currently using.

You can also see if swfdec or gnash are installed by using your package manager. I don't know exactly where it is in Fedora, but under administration or system, you should see an entry for Add/Remove Programs. Search for the names in that.

Here's a handy cheatsheet for some basics. One thing, though, Fedora doesn't use sudo by default. Not sure why they use that. Just know that whenever they use sudo, it means you need to run it as root.
