Wait a minute, how does flash reach the web if your access is only through a proxy, then?

Hmmmmmm..... So from what I gather here, if the ActionScript is using the regular getURL[1] that call is passed to the browser and will be proxied. But if flash tries to open up a raw socket[2] on its own, it won't know about the proxy and will just fail(or reveal your true IP)

This is correct.
