FlashPlayer 9 Beta refuses to process some Flash content with SELinux enforcing

[Temlakos]

Everyone:

Has anyone noticed SELinux to refuse permissions to the Flash Player 
plug-in (or standalone)?

And while I'm on the subject: How might I clear one particular 
application to do something weird, without having to grant such 
clearance to every such application? For example: VideoLAN Client needs 
permission to make its memory stack executable. How can I grant such 
permission to vlc alone and not across the board?

It normally requires chcon -t textrel_shlib_t 
.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so. Otherwise, please send any denials 
related to firefox / flash from /var/log/messages or 
/var/log/audit/audit.log.
