hi, when i go to macromedia.com, (or many other sites) it says you need the
flash plugin, but the link on this site gives a 5/26/2004 i386 binary, even
though my browsers user agent string clearly states x86_64. actually its been
this way for at least a year, but im getting sick of not being able to see all
the silly animation links ppl send me etc. i guess theres some kind of bug in
the app that its not correctly detecting my computer's architecture...just a
heads up.

There isn't a 64 bit version sadly, which IMO is something of a poor show.
If you're using Firefox 64 bit you will need to downgrade to 32 bit in order
to integrate with the 32 bit version of Flash also.
