55 -Yes. To get Flash working, you need a 32bit browser like
56 -<c>mozilla-firefox-bin</c> or <c>opera</c> because Macromedia doesn't provide a
57 -64bit version. After emerging the -bin package of your favorite browser,
58 -install Flash by doing <c>emerge netscape-flash</c>.
59 +Yes. Even though Macromedia doesn't provide a 64-bit version of Flash, there are
60 +a couple ways to get Flash working.
61 +</p>
62 +
63 +<p>
64 +First, you can use a 32-bit browser like <c>mozilla-firefox-bin</c> or
65 +<c>opera</c> with the 32-bit Flash. After emerging the -bin package of your
66 +favorite browser, install Flash by doing <c>emerge netscape-flash</c>.
67 +</p>
68 +
69 +<p>
70 +Second, you can use a 64-bit browser such as <c>mozilla-firefox</c> with the
71 +32-bit Flash plugin by emerging <c>nspluginwrapper</c>, a which lets you load
72 +32-bit plugins on 64-bit browsers. Install your browser, <c>netscape-flash</c>,
73 +and then <c>nspluginwrapper</c>. The wrapper will automatically detect and setup
74 +Flash for your browser.
