I've been told to try gnash-plugin instead so I have removed the flash-plugin 
and installed gnash-plugin.

I confirmed in about:plugins that the change has occurred and then tried using 
the cam again. It behaved exactly the same as with the flash-plugin.  I don't 
know how to get up the gnash equiv of the admin panel though.

I've checked with Cheese and the cam is still working.
