If you built your own custom iso / distribution, it is possible that Flash was left out. To install flash, first insure your sources.list is correct. http://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/Kali apt-get update.
** Edit, please use only the official repos, as the above will likely break your installation.
http://docs.kali.org/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories
To install flash issue these commands:
apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
Optionally to update flash:
update-flashplugin-nonfree --install
Enjoy!

Sunkist, make sure you got all the right repos set in your source.list than do an:
apt-get update
Afterwards see if it works.

Sorry, but I need to put this here (OCD) to help people like me that enjoy explicit and consistent instructions.
1.) Check that your repositories are correct
vi /etc/apt/sources.list
File should look like this
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free
2.) Update everything first - insures any dependencies are cleared before install
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
3.) Get your Flash on
apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
update-flashplugin-nonfree --install

I get the E: error as well
tried vi /etc/apt/sources.list and get the following
#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 _Kali_ - Official Snapshot i386 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20130327-18:35]/ kali contrib main non-free
tried apt-get update and get this:
root@kali:~# apt-get update

root@kali:~# apt-get upgrade

I don't think I have it pointing to the internet location, I am totally new to linux so I am not sure which simple step I am missing, something to do with pointing updates to an online location I assume.

open a terminal, using the command: nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Then simply copy and paste all the lines with deb in front of them.
Hit control and O key to save the file. Control x to exit, then issue the command: apt-get update.
