64-Bit Flash Player for Windows, Mac and Linux
Good news, everyone, Adobe has just released a preview build of 64-bit Flash Player for Windows, Mac and Linux platforms.
Known issues:
– Video playback issues may appear on certain websites such as Hulu.com, Audi.co.uk, and nbc.com.
– Mouse interactivity in the Settings UI dialog does not work using Internet Explorer 9. Keyboard navigation works as expected. Please pardon our dust.
