Well, it comes with both a full install of Flash, as well as with the Flex SDK. The Flex SDK is downloadable from Adobe's website, free of charge. The file you're looking for is called SAFlashPlayer.exe, and is part of the package.

Click "Download the free Flex 2 SDK, including the Flex framework" at the bottom of the page to get to the download area.
