In the page at http://www.jp.dk there is a flash animation, which flickers from
the left side of the screen to the place where it is supposed to be. While
loading the page it flickers constantly, and afterwards it only flickers about
once every 2 seconds. I realize that the page is not valid html but since it
looks ok in IE, the author - a large newspaper corporation doesn't care. I have
seen the flickering while loading on lots of pages, so I think it is a behaviour
which would be nice to have fixed in Mozilla. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open the above URL
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The animation flickerede around the screen

Expected Results:  
It should have been at a fixed position

I have flash ver 7.0.19.0 installed.

I can see the bug in Mozilla1.7, but not anymore in current trunk build of Firefox.
This was fixed by the fix for bug 238493.
