flash there is 2 options the non-free 64B plugin, I had not success
with that, with the nwrapper basically a 64 -> 32 thunker for the
non-free flash program I haven't had any problems at all
Java this is going to be your biggest problem, there is no Sun 64B java
plugin, the nwrapper doesn't work for 32b java. There is gij and gcj
and the new open java (can't remember its name), its from Redhat and has
recently been certified by sun, that would be your best bet.
Options for java, chroot you have ruled out (it worked seemlessly for
me), install 32bit iceweasel (you can install all the 32bit apps on the
64b machine - you just need the right libraries).
Another option install amd64, virtualbox and install 32b on virtualbox
run the 64 b on vt and 32b on vt8
