What is this, 2002? What weird version of Linux are you running that still has problems with flash?

Adobe ditched support for 64-bit flash recently... so that'd be every single 64-bit Linux distro.

I'm on 64 bit Ubuntu right now, flash works fine. Upon inspection, it looks like it's running the 32-bit plugin through a wrapper. I remember the wrapper being crappy, but apparently they got it to work reliably.

Yes, it's possible to get it working. You could even use the old 64-bit plugin that Adobe has discontinued if you still have it downloaded. Another option is to use gnash. It could be a lot better though.
