Can you give the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'; echo; cat /etc/adobe/mms.cfg

Thanks

sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Find these 2 lines:

#deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise partner
#deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise partner

Change them to:

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise partner
deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise partner

Save the new file, close gedit then run:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin

You now we have 64bit flash for your 64bit OS.

Its still unstable !! for example there's no way you can view videos on metacafe

Please open a terminal and type:

cd

sudo mkdir /etc/adobe

echo -e "EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1\nOverrideGPUValidation=true" | sudo tee /etc/adobe/mms.cfg > /dev/null

and retry...
