If you really need to access a flash script you could set up CGIProxy (http://www.jmarshall.com/tools/cgiproxy/) to route through Tor, and then connect to a local CGIProxy proxy with it's settings enabled for rewriting scripts. This will not, of course, guarantee your anonymity. I would combine it by putting the CGIProxy on another machine (or virtual machine), then set your firewall to block any/all requests that are not to that machine or localhost. This should help protect against failed rewrites by CGIProxy, and potentially retain the anonymity provided by Tor. Please correct me if I am wrong! Kasimir -- Kasimir Gabert
