Adobe Flash Player is not produced for x86_64 architecture by vendor.
(It used to be, however it containted serious security flaws). To use
it by 64b Firefox, you need to install a wrapper that converts 64b NPAPI
to 32b. However according my experience it causes crashes (tested on
Gentoo).

So IMHO there is no way how to use Adobe Flash Player on x86_64.

Which error message, which version?

I have no problem when Gnash 0.8.8 is compiled against ffmpeg (Gentoo again,
sorry).

I tried this viedeo <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoNvsiBTQDE> on
Fedora 13. It's compiled against Gstreamer, and it complainead about
missng AAC decoder. I installed gstreamer-plugins-bad
(http://www.gstreamer.net/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-plugins-bad-plugins/html/gst-plugins-bad-plugins-plugin-faad.html) and the sound in
Gnash started to work. Video worked already becuase of other gstreamer
plugin probably.

However these gstreamer plugins are not in offical Fedora repository
because of regional patents. They come from rpmfusion-free repositories.
