The Adobe Flash Square page has this link for 64 linux:

You will notice that the date is 11/17/2010 on the tar file.

Adobe did release one further update in January of 2011, but they pulled 
it for some reason.

Leigh123 created a repository for an RPM that he created for the 64-bit 
flash:

If you do this, you should be using the most recent 64-bit flash release 
from Adobe Labs.  Yes, it appears to be somewhat old.

Actually, if you look at *this* page (from Adobe):

You should see the link to the file I mentioned above.  The version is 
10.3 preview release (the 3rd preview if I remember correctly).  There 
appear to be no more recent versions available from Adobe.

Leigh123 has, the problem is that Adobe hasn't released a new 64-bit 
version in over 6 months....
