mplayer and xine should work (they do for me, at least). Kaffeine is the front end to xine in KDE, so I would try that first.

Mplayer, xine, and Kaffeine are found in the Packman repositories.

some info on how to enable the repo:

I compiled mplayer 1.7 from source (www.mplayerhq.com) and it plays .flv files neatly.

There is VLC Player which supports many formats, including FLV.

Here is VLC Player for SuSE (download page with "One-Click-Install" option): http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-suse.html
I posted it in other post because of forum rules.
Sorry for my English!
