I've been asking Twitter to review the crossdomain.xml situation for months. You can find old threads on the issue by searching this forum. @raffi has said he elevated the issue to the security team for review. I'm sure they've been mulling it over day-and-night :)
In the meantime you will indeed need to use a proxy, and there are lots of examples out there for creating PHP proxies. Here is one to get you started: http://www.switchonthecode.com/tutorials/using-a-php-proxy-with-flex-to-talk-cross-domain You'll have to extend that a bit if you want to pass parameters from Flex to your proxy and then on to Twitter.
