Is this really Flash 64-bit or just a wrapped 32-bit one?  What version?

The reason I ask is the only 64-bit version being distributed currently by 
Adobe is a 10.2 preview called Square. (By "preview" I'm thinking pre-alpha.)  
It was released Feb. 2011.  Adobe removed all previous 64-bit versions from 
their development site, Adobe Labs, last year sometime due to a bad security 
flaw, and started a new Flash development cycle from the ground up.  Or so they 
said.
