Thanks, I'll install flashplugin-native64.
I'd suggest first reading the package description: "... [WARNING!!! known security vulnerabilities]"
flashplugin-native64 is an old and outdated version which has several security issues as also discussed on the Arch mailing lists.
You'd better install flashplugin from [multilib] if you really need flash.
Btw., I'm not sure if it is not better to remove the package flashplugin-native64 from AUR due to these vulnerabilities.

I think Arch users should be well-informed enough to make the decision for themselves. Its not like flashblock and the like are rocket-science, after all, and some people do have issues with nspluginwrapper (that was one of the reasons I was so happy when Adobe first came out with 64-bit flashplugin).
