well.... i had some trouble with flash on other flash-using sites like 
the one of my banker. i purged my (from scratch built) lenny-system from 
the the *downloaded* and installed  plugin 
/home/steef/install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz
and installed the flash-mozilla plugin from unfree. i made subsequently 
a symbolic link from the mozilla /usr/lib map into my 
/home/steef/seamonkey/plugins map. all is working fine up till now.
