alternative options for running flash-based software on x86_64 systems
As per the new droppage of the flashplugin for 64bit Arch, what should us 64bitters do?
What are these "alternative options" mentioned in the Arch news?

Re: alternative options for running flash-based software on x86_64 systems
Alternative options to do what? What did you use Flash for?
I often say there are three ways Flash is used on the Internet:
Showing advertisements (I assume you don't want to get those working again)
Video games
Showing video
(did I miss anything?)
What are you trying to do?
EDIT: Also, I think there have been many threads on this topic. The general solution was to use 32 bit Flash in 64 bit Arch. As for me, I just stopped using Flash.

IMHO you can say good-bye to Flash games, but you can download video as *.flv etc. and view in in f.e. mplayer or pick *.mp4 to see online.

You can play flv/swf in flashplayer - bin32-flashplayer-standalone package. Alternatives are lightspark-git (unusable), ndiswrapper (unusable?).

nspluginwrapper-debian and nspluginwrapper-flash from AUR work perfectly fine for me. Just follow the instructions here.

I use the Youtube without Flash & Youtube without Flash Embedded GreaseMonkey user scripts alongside the gecko-mediaplayer plugin.

And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through the phone line like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is found.
"This is it... this is where I belong..."
