This isn't true - I use a proxy tunnel frequently, and Flash works fine.

Flash works but it uses the default system connection and not your browsers proxy connection. So in cases of site that have IP based restriction, flash based sites will still see your original IP

and how do you know about this ? I use the very same trick with youtube and many other flash based sites. And flash ALWAYS use the browser's settings (at least in opera and firefox) both in Windows and Ubuntu
