Alan,
I have experienced a similar problem before. In my case, I was able to
"fix" it by disabling hardware acceleration in Flash itself. I did this by
right-clicking flash content, selecting 'Settings,' and then un-checking
the "Hardware Acceleration" radiobox. This may or may not work for you,
but its worth a shot.
Good luck!
