Adobe Flash - Installs and says it installed but when I go to use it doesn't seem to work

I have a MacBook with the latest software updated. I have downloaded and installed the latest version of Adobe Flash. Even when i go on the Adobe website for the troubleshooting it says Congratulations! The latest version has been installed. However when I go into programs that require flash (Cricut Design Space) it still tells me i need to have the latest version and won't work. When I click on Flash, it just brings up the box again to install Flash Player which I have done several times. I have went through all the troubleshooting steps, including adding it as a PlugIn to uninstalling and reinstalling. I don't get any errors during installation it tells me it is complete and to restart my browser which i do and i have tried restarted the entire computer. I am at a loss. Can someone help??
