Step 1:
Place the LICENC~1 game folder in the same folder as you put Flash in, DON'T put it INSIDE the Flash folder, in case you did that.
(Just to make sure, we don't wanna return to this later on)

Step 2:
If the prompt says C:\FLASH> you need to type CD.. to return to the root directory C: where LICENC~1 will be located.

Another quick question or two; do games always run very slow or should I change the video? And how can I save? Are there any option screens?

To speed it up, you can increase the cycles (consult the DOSBox guide). Mind you, DOSBox uses quite a bit of the computer's resources and you will need a fairly good pc to run "dosboxed" games.

About saves and game options, obviously that depends on the individual game. As for Flash I have no idea how to find the load/save menu.

Advice: DOSBox doesn't like directory names longer than 8 characters or containing spaces. So don't use any such ones.

Ok, a new problem (ugh). I downloaded a game from another site and put it into the flash folder. It comes up on DOSbox but it won't let me play it. The file type of the game is RAR. How can I either convert it to make it work or simply play it?

1) Why did you place it in the same folder than a game you already have?
2) RAR is an archive type. You need to unarchive it, usually using WINrar.

Whatever I'm doing it's not a prank. I'm trying to get these games to work but no site except for yours seems compatible with DOSbox.
