Bits of Flashplayer [SOLVED]

Is there a convenient way I can install and run both 32 and 64 bit version of Adobe flash on Win7(64 bit)? When I install the 64 bit flash player 90% of YouTube stops working with firefox. When I install the 32 bit version Sims 3 wont run. For now I have installers for both on my desktop and switch as needed, but I'd rather not have to.

    No.

    In general, you shouldn't be running 64-bit flash player no matter what anyway, it's pretty shitty.

    The fact that The Sims stops playing means your computer is fucked, because I have news for you, 99% of the people who play the Sims probably have 32-bit Flash installed.

    Well, It appears 32 bit and 64 bit already installs in separate folders by default. 32 bit goes in C:\WINDOWS\syswow64\Macromed\Flash and 64 bit goes in C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash. The problem is Firefox still tries to use the 64 bit version when I have both installed. So is there a way to direct it to the other one?

    No it's not an isolated occurrence. Others have this problem since Sims 3 log in screen was updated a couple of months ago.

    *Edit* Problem solved! After following these instructions ---> http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 and disabling protected mode, 64 bit flash now seems to be running fine with Firefox.
