They didn't exactly wait.  They were developing their own OSS flash 
player, until Adobe noticed.  Around 2007, Adobe promised a native 64 
bit flash player, and that kind of killed development.  In 2008, they 
again said "real soon now."  Earlier this year, they got the alpha 
version released.

Personally, this is one thing I'd like to see an OSS version that I 
could use, since I'm trying to get as much software as possible in the 
64bit form.
