This is an example of a page whose Flash does not load at all.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type in the URL of a page that you know has an embedded Flash component
2. Press Enter
3. Wait for the page to load.


Actual Results:  
The page comes up, but not any Flash components - it is as if it was never
there. You see a transparent (you see the background) empty space where the
Flash is supposed to be.

Expected Results:  
It should have loaded the Flash and started playing it.

You can actually load the Flash using View->Page Style->No Style. The Flash then
loads, but shrunk up.

This bug is similar to Bug 274409, but in a newer build (the newest build as 10
September 2005 does not solve the problem) of and in XP as opposed to Win 98.
The bug is non-existent in Firefox 1.0.x.
