the installer from the macromedia works fine, even though it's not an rpm.

That's what I tried first. It didn't work.
The RPM is from macromedia too though.

The rpm is not from macromedia themselves, they only release a package with an installer that works on every distro like Nvidia. The rpm was packaged by someone else.

Well, if you want to get technical about it, here's what the site says:

This is the official mirror system of Macromedia Linux packages.
With permission from Macromedia we take their software and package
it in Linux friendly ways (RPM, DEB, ebuild). These packages are
made available for manual download, apt-get, urpmi, or emerge.

Macromedia's EULA forbids repackaging and/or redistribution of
their software so please do not mirror this repository.
Please point your apt-get or urpmi to one of these official
mirrors of this site, as they will be permanent.

These files are served from official mirrors in order for us to
collect download statistics. Each distribution has a different
file to download, so this allow us to make neat graphs showing
relative numbers of the different Linux distributions below.

It's an offical macromedia mirror. It's kind of done by macromedia, just indirectly.
The rpm still brings up the "I agree/don't agree" thingamagigy.
