It seems that currently there is no Adobe Flash Player for any 64 bit OS.

Adobe had an Alpha 64 version available but not any more. It will
probably release a 64 version in the future after the security issues
are properly addressed.

Adobe suggests using the 32 bit version of Firefox and then installing
Flash. I use an old Alpha 64 player with Ubuntu 64 at my own risk.
