FF, Chrome, Safari intentionally breaking Flash sites now - please jump on...
Don't know if you guys have noticed it, but recently all fluid layout Flash sites have begun breaking, as these browsers have decided to stretch a bitmap of the plugin whenever the window is resized or whenever a div holding the plugin is resized.
So if you have sites that reconfigure themselves smoothly as the window size changes, or which cause a div to tween to a taller height with external JS, these browsers are now applying a ScaleMode.STRETCH on the flash content instead of allowing Flash to redraw every frame, until any resizing "settles down" a few frames later. Similarly if you resize a window and click over to a Flash tab, you'll see that flash content squished or stretched for a few ticks until it begins redrawing.
This is basically an attack on Flash and Flash designers, and intentionally breaks carefully crafted behavior on thousands of the best Flash sites, games and browser apps -- basically any site that does anything on resize or tries to control its own DOM element. I didn't realize until not long ago that this is actually being considered "intentional behavior" by Moz and Chrome now.
These are the bug reports which are being ignored by both groups... Please make some noise on these and ask for a revert! As another guy pointed out there, IE is now the only browser that is acting sanely with Flash content...
