Hi.
For flash you'll need to run in some x86 platform since it requires the 
propietary binary flash plugin (there's gnash but it never went far 
enough i believe). You'll also need X11 for it i think, and some 
nsplugin-aware browser.
Well, squid in transparent proxy mode intercepts all http traffic so 
there's no other way out if you lock down networking additionally via 
iptables to avoid accessing some external proxy - browser settings won't 
matter since the list is handled by squid itself in it's config file or 
external acl file, or some other way via a helper program like squidguard.
