If you use Google-Chrome (NOT Chromium) then Flash just works.  I didn't test 
the iView web site because it requires signing in, but I expect it will work.

Wheezy is going out of support and for desktop installations it's well past 
the time when it was suitable for use.  If you are going to use Flash etc then 
you really need to keep your system up to date.

The above APT repositories have Python-iview built for Debian, it was built 
for wheezy but still works.  I probably should update it.

But not using Flash would allow naughty people to use a python program to 
download content!  :-#
