It's worth noting that flash does NOT obey proxy settings in your browser. Most people fall foul of this when they try to use a generic proxy to stream video from another country. Wrapping the entire browser instance in a proxifier like tsocks or socksify ought to trap the connect() calls and force flash to use the proxy. -m --
