AMD64 flash needs to be replaced with the alpha Flashplayer .


from
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nspluginwrapper/+bug/141613

I just modified the latest flashplugin-nonfree package from intrepid to
install the 64-bit alpha instead of the stable version of flash, and
uploaded the resulting package to my webspace. Interested users can use
it to install the 64-bit alpha without getting their hands dirty.

http://www.eng.uwaterloo.ca/~sruggier/files/apt/flashplugin-nonfree_10.0.20.7~20081117sruggier1_amd64.deb

Run the following to obtain the source package:
dget
