Indeed there are substitutes and alternatives, but IHMO / experience,
none of them are as good as Flash 9.

The way I got this to work reliably on 64-bit F9 was to read and follow
the instructions on Section 10.5.1 of the F9 Release Notes. You can even
copy / paste the specific commands to complete the task if you like.

For the sake of convenience, the F9 US English Release Notes are found
at:

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f9/en_US/

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Chris
