This has been a long time in the waiting. I have been using a 64-bit Workstation for a few years now and finally i don't have to wait much longer to run a 64-bit Browser with a 64-bit Flash Player. Woohoo!
Prior to this release 32-bit Flash Player on 64-bit Linux has required the use of a plugin wrapper, which prevents full compatibility with 64-bit browsers. Some would just run all 32-bit browser and plugins to get the best support on their 64-bit Linux.
Until Now.. Maybe someone has the new flash built out on the Build Service.A quick search at http://software.opensuse.org/search for flash reveals that no one has built the 64-bit version yet. I guess i may have to dig in. :)
If your interested, you can download it from the adobe labs here
