flash does not support 64-bit Linux at the moment. Better install the 32-bit version of your browser and then use flash

it may be browser dependent but 64 browsers can use 32bit plugins (through thhe use of wrappers):

Opera (beta 9.5)- automatically finds and uses (has built in wrapper)
FF 2 - must install and run nspluginwrapper* (2 different rpms)
FF 3 - I assume same as FF2
Konq - I believe it too uses nspluginwrapper, you'll need to scan for plugins in settings

Note: Java and Javaws only works in 64 Konqueror

I would use the 32 bit Firefox if you also want to get the Java stuff working. You can install it by enabling the mozilla repo in the community repos area. Than search in Software Management and select the 32 bit version (YaST KDE has a version selection tab)
