Indeed there are substitutes and alternatives, but IHMO / experience, none of them are as good as Flash 9. The way I got this to work reliably on 64-bit F9 was to read and follow the instructions on Section 10.5.1 of the F9 Release Notes. You can even copy / paste the specific commands to complete the task if you like. For the sake of convenience, the F9 US English Release Notes are found at: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f9/en_US/ Hope that helps!
