Thats true. Macromedia is not going to provide a ppc build anytime soon.

There is another option. Its called 'swfdec', a LGPL Flash player for
mozilla.

Freshrpms has a (old, lagging behind by 3 releases) rpm version.
http://ayo.freshrpms.net/yellowdog/4.0/ppc/freshrpms/RPMS/swfdec-0.2.2-1.0.yd4.fr.ppc.rpm
as well as the development package, if interested.

QuickTip: you can feed 'rpm -ivh' with a URL.
