Hi,
since a recent flash-plugin it is no longer working within a sandbox.


rpm -qa flash-plugin
flash-plugin-11.0.1.152-release.i386

rpm -qa *selinux*
selinux-policy-targeted-3.9.7-44.fc14.noarch
libselinux-utils-2.0.96-6.fc14.1.x86_64
libselinux-2.0.96-6.fc14.1.i686
selinux-policy-3.9.7-44.fc14.noarch
libselinux-python-2.0.96-6.fc14.1.x86_64
libselinux-2.0.96-6.fc14.1.x86_64

I tried restorecon but it didn't fix the problem.

I turned off the dontaudit rules as described by Dan Walsh at a previous
similar thread:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2010-August/380366.html

I see the following AVCs:
