That would happen automatically. When the Flash player is not installed an install screen will pop up with the request to install it.

if you use the publish settings it should automattically ask to install if the newest version isn’t available.

or you can use a redirect thing:

I thought I was using the publish settings…  
And I so see the plugins page url in the code…  
Here is the page…

I actually thought that would prompt them to download it but it did not work…
