[Wftl-lug] flash 9 on Gutsy ubuntu 32 bit

I upgraded my Gutsy 64bit partition to Hardy 64bit (alpha 2) and flash 9
worked out of the box...I was surprised...I don't think it worked under
Gutsy 64bit but I could be wrong.  I only keep the 64bit install for testing
so I don't spend a lot of time with it.  My test consisted of youtube and
testing it under Adobe test site  (http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/)
The Hardy install flash is version 9.0.115.

I believe it is using 32bit wrapper since the install points to :

/var/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so

Anyone know how to verify 100% if this is 32bit or 64bit plugin?   I believe
64bit plugin does not exist....

I never had any problem getting flash 9 working under Gutsy 32bit....once I
removed the flashblock extension from Firefox...
