There was a Flash update recently to version 10.0.42.34, looks like you don’t have that one installed yet.
The new 64-bit version is avaiable here:
Adobe Labs - Downloads: Flash Player 10 for 64-bit Linux
This is available in the updates repo. It might be much easier to do an update with zypper/Yast.
The “flash-player” package from the repositories only has the 32-bit flash plugin.
And that does fine on 64-bit systems. The OP hasn’t indicated that he is using 64-bit Flash, and likely has the package from the non-oss repo.
Why bother using old 32-bit junk when you can use 64-bit instead?
Switching to 64-bit is really easy:
Main problem with that is that the burden is on you to follow security updates. With the official supported package, this is pretty much automated. I haven’t noticed any degradation or performance issues with the 32bit, but I might if I saw them side-by-side.
Any benefit on using 64 bit flash instead of 32 ?

Two more words: Arrogant prunt.
