When a page contains a flash video and the document overflow is toggled, the video will reset. This has posed a puzzle with one of my applications that involve a lightbox with video configuration options

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to the url above (Johnny Cash) or any other flash content site.
2. Execute the following in the address bar:
javascript:void(document.body.style.overflow = "hidden")

Toggle it back and forth between "hidden" and "auto" and you'll see the video reset.
Actual Results:  
Flash content is reset

Expected Results:  
Changing the overflow of a page should not cause Flash to reset

No, it's not.  It's related to reconstructing frames, not reflow.
