    So, I've installed nspluginwrapper and nspluginwrapper-flashplugin-mozilla, flash still won't work.

    Help from the arch64 experts?

    I think it's because it's x64...there isn't flash for x64.

    I'm almost certain there's a message when you install that package telling you what to do

    nspluginwrapper -v -a -i as user

    You need to make sure you have the 32bit compatibility libraries installed, of course. You didn't mention it, so I'm just covering all the bases.

    I install nspluginwrapper, and it just asked me to install a bunch of lib32 stuff, so I did.

    EDIT: When I typed nspluginwrapper -v -a -i
    it outputted:
    And flash still didn't work.

    Try using the package nspluginwrapper-flash or nspluginwrapper-flash-beta

    also, make sure you have all the lib32 dependencies from here
