You have 2 options. One, uninstall the 64 bit version and install the 32 
bit version, and use Macromedia's flash player (only available in 32 
bit).  Two, install the swfdec and swfdec-mozilla rpms from my apt 
repository.  They are alpha quality, but work somewhat ( 
http://www.schleef.org/swfdec/ ).  Neither are perfect, but choice one 
may be best for you.  Also, send an email to Macromedia and join the 
crowd waiting for them to port it to a 64 bit platform.
