There is a flashplayer for x64,here's a link:

http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html

Alternatively you can run the x86 plugin with nspluginwrapper.

Since it's a testing release or better called as alpha release; that why there may be problems. Or you can try using FireFox from www.mozilla.com and install both FireFox and Flash player.

64 bit flash has been out for close to a year. It works just fine by installing flashplugin-nonfree.

# squeeze (testing) (web): Adobe Flash Player - browser plugin [contrib]
1:2.6: amd64 i386
# sid (unstable) (web): Adobe Flash Player - browser plugin [contrib]
1:2.6: amd64 i386

If flash sites aren't working chances are you do not have either gnash or flashplugin-nonfree installed but rather the libswfdec that totem seems to pull in.

Adobe Flash is working beautifully for me on x64 Squeeze.

Thanks for the replies .
But until now with No result.
But I do notice that the flash player by default installed Debian 5.0 is not the same that I use in Fedora X86_64 or opensuse X86_64 or Ubuntu x86_64 and in this distros it works
That is why I ask how can complete uninstall the one supplied by Debian.
Than I will try to install the other version of the flash player

May I suggest:
# Aptitude show flashplayer-mozilla
(look at the conflict file)
# aptitude install flashplayer-mozilla

It works for me:
Debian Lenny 501 amd64

Sorry I was busy and forget to answer.
In fact it has nothing to do with Debian , but my audio cable was on the
loose
