We can't give them local admin rights but it is driving us crazy having to help them install new Java and Flash updates every other week or so.

LUP takes a bit of work to set up, but once you're familiar with the way it works it's not bad. Flash has been able to auto-update for a while now.
My script checks for the existance of the 'FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe' file in the%systemroot% SysWOW64 Macromed Flash folder (%systemroot% system32 Macromed Flash for 32-bit clients). If it exists, it will copy, into that same folder, a mms.cfg file I have configured with the following options: AutoUpdateDisable=0 SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1 That will enable flash to update automatically and silently.
