Yep, this is a massive problem.
One of the nicest things with Flash was that you could make very nice looking sites with plenty of content and have it all stream together with no loading times.
This is now not possible.

I'm sure that this is a bug and not a 'feature' that has been introduced, I can't see a positive side to it.

Does anyone know if this is a problem with FlashMX or the Flash 6 player? If it's with the player then all our Flash 5 sites will stop functioning properly too, and I can't think of anyway around it.
