Regarding 64bit browser and Flash9. A simple solution worked for me. 64bit OS users with a 64bit Firefox browser can use the nspluginwrapper to utilize Flash9 from inside 64bit Firefox. seamless. (it'll work until Flash is GPL'd later this year).

I use a 64bit OS as my desktop, I use a 64bit browser, and Flash9.so without resorting to a 32bit browser kludge and it works just fine - thank you. =)

nspluginwrapper is now in sid, and will likely be in the next Ubuntu release since they polish the work of the Debian developers.

I don't know what's sweeter: a plugin wrapper that crosses architectures (and potentially offers hope for Intel Mac users needing to use PPC-only plugins) or Flash going GPL. Good news all around.
