Re:

there were also some concerns with the newest Flash plu-in on all platforms...

Apprently, the newest flash plug-in has the abilitiy to utilize a users web-cam AND microphone. However, this has posed a certain risk to cam and mic users. One must make sure that the flash plug-in in their browser has these "TURNED OFF". Be sure and check your settings. To do this right click on your browser while a flash file is loaded; right-click on the movie; choose settings; and make sure that these feature are "DENY"ed.
