Summary Flash content won't load unless page has focus

This page will not load unless that tab is selected. If you put the page in a separate window, you can keep browsing in the original window, it will load. That is very annoying, though. It should be able to load while I'm looking at another tab, especially because it takes a while to load. Other browsers don't have this problem.

The content that doesn't load is inside a Flash plug-in. The rest of the web page loads in a non-visible tab. Confirmed with a local debug build of WebKit r24443 with Safari 3.0 (522.12) on Mac OS X 10.4.10 (8R218). Firefox 2.0.0.4 loads the flash content while in a non-focused tab, although it reported that I didn't have the most current version of flash. Safari's "Installed Plug-ins" page reports that I have both Shockwave Flash 9.0 r28 and Shockwave Flash 9.0 r19 installed (although 9.0 r28 is listed first). Firefox reports that I have Shockwave Flash 8.0 r24 and Shockwave Flash 7.0 r24 installed?!

Flash plugins are no longer supported.
