I'm not trying to say something completely useless here, but perhaps you should try updated to Lenny? Etch is soon to be an unsupported version of Debian, so I would honestly upgrade before getting into anything. Anyway, I've had lots of problems with flash in Debian, so I eventually dumped it. For my YouTube fix I'm using a Greasemonkey script[1] to play YouTube videos in mplayer (for this you'll need the mplayer browser plugin) Also, for simpler problems like this, perhaps #debian is more suitable? You'll get quicker answers to these questions instead of waiting for hours.
