Comment 214 for bug 178038

AFAIK the latest 64 bit flash player is still an alpha version and doesn't seem to have had much in the way of updates(? not sure). In any case, before it can go to full release it still has to enter beta. Considering the 32 bit flash player 10.1 is currently at beta 3, a 64 bit version would probably also need to go through 3 beta stages. Since the beta process takes months, I do not think an official release of 64 bit flash is close. Especially considering adobe only has a single developer working on linux flash, AFAIK.

So it is important to try and either fix up the 32 bit embedded version of the player (or write a new one ourselves), since it will definitely be around for quite a while.

NB: I believe this bug is reported upstream as https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-2609
