In the MS-Windows world, with XP x64, there is a 32-bit subsystem called
WOW64 (Windows-on-Windows 64-bit) that allows users to run programs
written for ordinary 32-bit Windows.
Is there nothing comparable in the Linux world?
Sure. My 64-bit box is using FC4. I just added the 32 bit
repositories, removed the 64-bit firefox, then did "yum install
firefox.i386". This pulled in all the 32-bit dependencies (including
libX11 and most of Gnome). After that the flash install worked fine.
I did the same for the multimedia players that use x86 codecs.

Mark
