Go to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions

In step 1, select 'Mac OS X 10.6 - 10.14'

In step 2, select the browser you want to download Flash for

Note there may be optional 3rd party offerings in the center panel

Click the yellow 'Download now' button on the bottom right of the page

The installer will download to your default download locations (usually the Downloads folder unless you changed it)

Just wondering if you ever found a solution for this problem?

Flash versions do not include Snow Leopard OS. I just got a new (used) iMac and after everything transferred over from my Mac Pro, I lost the version of Flash that worked on my 10.6.8 system. That Adobe assumes we can all get on the upgrade/updates bandwagon (or want to) is frustrating.

It's not really about assuming you can get on the upgrade bandwagon. Old versions of Flash have known security holes, which bad guys are trying full time to attack. So my thought is, Adobe do not want to be responsible for you being attacked. So they do not offer old versions easily. Meanwhile Mac OS 10.6 itself is a huge security hole. Be sure you don't ever enter personal details, credit cards etc. on this old Mac.
