that really is a problem with flash so your best bet is to take it up
with Adobe (though I gather there's a beta of Flash 10 for Linux either
available or available soon).
As I mentioned, using the same exact plugin in firefox2, it works
perfectly 100% of the time. I've also tried the beta of Flash10, and
the same problem persists. I'm blaming firefox3 for this mess.
