Not a clue...sorry. I had the same question hoping to get an answer. All I know is if you have one, that's not good enough. You have to have the other. They apparently don't do the same thing, although I'm still trying to figure out what exactly Adobe Reader even does anymore. I have it installed on my computer and it does me absolutely NO GOOD whatsoever!
So basically, my answer is: they do different stuff. Very vague. No help at all. But, hey? I answered the question atleast.
Adobe Reader and Flash Player for your Browser
No. Adobe Reader and Quicktime are standalone programs that have plugins to extend their functionality to other programs such as web browsers. Only Adobe Flash has no stand-alone version.

No, Adobe Flash player and Adobe Shockwave player are completely different programs. Adobe Flash player is for playing content made with Adobe Flash. Adobe Shockwave player is for playing content made with Adobe Director.
Well you probably downloaded the wrong adobe try search up adobe shockwave player it will definitely work.
The company that produces Flash software is called Adobe. In addition to Adobe Flash, they are also the makers of programs like Photoshop and Acrobat Reader.
Adobe does make a few programs available for Linux, namely Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Acrobat Reader. Adobe does not make programs like Adobe Flash or Photoshop available for Linux, and recent versions of these programs do not work in Wine.
exactly flash is a tool that is used to create applications it is subset of flex,the flex is collection of all the tools and techniques that is provided by adobe .
The main difference between Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader is that Acrobat allows the user to create PDF's (Post Data Files) as well as edit or add comments to PDF's. Reader only allow the user to view them.
Adobe Flash standalone is a software application that you install on your computer in order to create and edit Flash/Shockwave files. It's standalone and can work on its own. The Flash PLAYER, however, is a browser plugin that plays the published end results of the standalone Flash software. The main difference is that Adobe Flash standalone can create and edit, while the Flash Player can only view/playback.
Plug-ins
Adobe Flash is a newer version of Macromedia Flash. Adobe purchased Macromedia, and is now the current developer of Flash. All versions of Flash player version 9 and on have been called Adobe Flash.
