It depends what version of Ubuntu you are using. Earlier versions allowed you to change the desktop interface on the login screen by selecting the option at the bottom of the login screen e.g. GNOME. In newer versions of Ubuntu, you have a little round thing available when you click on your username; it may appear is a "cog" or the round Ubuntu logo. Clicking on it will allow you to change to the 2D option.

A permanent workaround: when you're logged in, you could go into the "Software Centre" (or "Center") search for and install gnome-panel (make sure you type it as gnome-panel). When installed, logout and change the option to "Gnome Classic no Effects"), again by clicking on the round icon by your username on the login screen.

This problem with Flash Player settings not working is definitely caused by Unity.
