I haven't kept strictly up to date, but it's my understanding that
since then a new 64bit version has been released. And some new
security problems, it's flash after all, and two more releases I
think. So there's a "proper" 64-bit version out, if you consider
flash/binary proper.
On a related note, the alternative flash player lightspark has reached
a "actually useful for youtube some of the time" status, and the
current RC is supposed to improve this. Help me flattr the guys
lightspark blog posts and you can soon ditch another binary package.
:D
