welcome to the end. the end for x64 flash for linux.

The page for it on adobe's site is gone, but I still managed to snag a copy, and will be updating the adobe tools soon...

oh, and it was pulled because of http://www.adobe.com/support/securit...apsa10-01.html

and the link?

Yah - it was 10.0.45.2 was latest version of 64bit flash - that had been just kinda a stopping point and put on hold as adobe has been focused on 10.1 development for 32bit all platforms. So they kinda just kept it around.. but now that a major security bug was found in 10.0.45.2, instead of going back and fixing the 64bit version of 10.0.45.2 they just took it offline all together.. SOoooo I'm betting now that 10.1 is official for 32bit / all platforms, they are close to putting out a 10.1 64bit alpha to get that ball rolling again.. Hence forget patching 10.0.x - lets work on new 10.1 and move foward... But I'd like to get some official word from adobe.

The current site shows 10.1 beta for 64bit is now closed, when in fact there to my knowledge was NEVER a 10.1 beta, alpha or antyhing else for 64bit linux.. YET...That line on the site and all the news sites that picked it up on the net should state 10.0 Beta Is now closed for 64bit linux... and 10.1 64bit linux beta is not yet available...

Nice. Real <expletive> nice. I really hope this is some transitive state where they plan to offer an official version soon.

Companies anger me- I wish open source video player options were adopted more often. At least that way, noone gets left in the dark.

Uninstall flash != html5
but:
+html5 and -flash = live happy

I like how the Flash Player 10.1 Desktop forum says:

Important: Do not use this forum to discuss the Flash Player 10 64-bit Linux prerelease or Flash Player 10 and earlier release players. Follow these links to discuss these topics:

and then it links to a read-only forum.
