I don't know if this is any help, I fixed this problem on a freebsd box 
(which uses the same linux flashplugin). I think the fix will be the 
same but I don't know where the relevant bits are in 64studio. I 
manually downloaded 
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/
install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz which has changed size recently. I 
updated the md5 and sha256 checksums and the filesize in a local file 
where it is recorded - I don't know where this info is held in 64studio. 
I also had to find flashplayer.xpt which I did by installing flash 7 and 
copying flashplayer.xpt to my flash 9 installation directory. With those 
two changes I was able to install it and it seems to work.
