Webinars on brighttalk.com: Flash player tries to bypass http-proxy?

Hello,

an employee wants to attend a webinar/webcast on www.brighttalk.com.
They have a test page (good idea):
https://www.brighttalk.com/pages/customer-support/test-your-system

When I test on my computer and click on "3. Check your firewall" > "Click here to run port test", it says: 

RTMP DEFAULT TimeOut
RTMP 80 Failed
RTMP 443 Failed
RTMP 1935 Failed
RTMPT DEFAULT Success
RTMPT 80 Success
RTMPT 443 Success
RTMPT 1935 Success

Which is pretty much what I expected. According to Real Time Messaging Protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia RTMPT is encapsulated in HTTP, so it should be allowed by our UTM9.

But on another computer, it says "Failed" for every protocol and port. I'm using Firefox on both computers. On both computers, I have Flash player 11.9.900.152 installed. On both computers, the Internet Explorer can also access Websites (proxy configuration correctly) and both computers are using Win7. "netstat -an" on the "Failed" computer shows that it's trying to connect to 68.71.134.212:1935 directly!
Is there a way to tell the flash player which proxy-server to use? I had hoped that it uses the same http-proxy which the internet explorer uses. But that doesn't seem to be the case.
