With flash.scm loaded, those browsers work with flash fine here.

There may be problems with Flashplayer 11.2.202.228 compatibility with some hardware.  There is a discussion of some problems with flashplayer and Puppy Linux here:
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02779
It's necessary to scroll down a ways to find the discussion.

When updating to Flashplayer 11.2.202.228 from 11.1.102.63, I found  that both Forefox and Chromium browsers showed Flashplayer 11.2.202.228 to be enabled in their respective addin menus. However, Flashplayer would not run, and I would get a "missing plugin" message.  I was using getFlash11.tcz and TinyCore 4.0.2.  The problem was solved by manually reinstalling 11.1.102.63.  However, Adobe says that 11.1.102.63 is insecure.  See:
www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb12-07.html
Evidently there's a secure Flashplayer version 10.3.183.18 that works with "older" hardware.

I also tried Firefox.tcz with getFlash11.tcz and firefox.scm with getFlash11.scm in Tinycore 4.4. 
Again Flash did not work even though the expected directories, links, and libflashplayer.so were created.  I'm guessing my hardware is too old for the newer Flashplayer.

I hope this helps.

Jason W:
That reminds me, possible issues with flash and the AMD-k6, also older hardware which may be part of the issue.
