Here is what I found out:

You need to disable flashblock once while on one of the video
pages to let abcnews.go.com/Video/ load some cookies into
your web browser. After that you can re-enable Flashblock
and clicking on the Flashblock play button will work.
Sometimes I had to reload the page once or twice before
the video would play - it's possible that this is due to
my slow connection and that I should have waited longer but
this procedure seems to work for me.

By a process of elimination (deleting cookies) it seems
that those from hitbox.com are the crucial ones.

To quickly disable/enable Flashblock, You can drag the
Flashblock button from the Customize Toolbars window to
one of the toolbars. CTRL-LEFT-CLICK on that button will
toggle Flashblock's state AND refresh the page at the same
time.
