A problem stil exist with 64-bit versions of * Ubuntu (linux in general) is that you install Flash plugin from the repositories (using ubuntu / kubuntu / xubuntu-restricted-extras) fails a lot, because its not a 64bit version
How to do this ? first you have to uninstalled the existed one on your machine with :
sudo aptitude purge flashplugin-installer
sudo aptitude purge flashplugin-nonfree
Clean your systen from existing files
sudo rm-f / usr/lib/mozilla /plugins /*flash*
sudo rm-f ~ /.mozilla/plugins/*flash*
sudo rm-f / usr/lib/firefox/plugins/*flash*
sudo rm-f / usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/*flash*
sudo rm -rf / usr/lib/nspluginwrapper
Download libflashplayer 64bit
wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
extract the file
tar zxf libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
make plugins directory in in your /home/user/.mozilla
mkdir ~ / .mozilla / plugins
move the libflashe file extracted the the creeted directory.
mv libflashplayer.so ~ / .mozilla / plugins /
This will install the 64 version ofr linux 64-bit, now open your firefox and enjoy your flash movies

That worked perfectly for me. Just what I was looking for for some time now.
