I think you should give more info about what exactly is failing to install. i386 software should work on an 64 bit distro as long as you have the required libraries and dependencies.

Each package has its own dependencies, so you will have to use your distributions package manager to install them. For flash, you will need the 32 bit version of Firefox because there is no native flash packages for 64 bit. Since you are using Kubuntu, I suggest you use apt/synatic to search for and install packages.
