SWFLoader Bug? We'll see.

I have 'reproduced' Jesse Warden's Flash Captivate player in Flex. The reasons for doing so are: 1. To start learning Flex 2.0 and 2. Our users had a problem finding the drop down list to select additional swfs. After I had everything just the way I wanted it, I started testing in different browsers, standard workstations, non-standard, etc and after clicking around on the swfs (which calls SWFLoader component) or switching from one 'Series' to another it would crash the browser. On MAC, WIN, IE, Firefox, Safari, whatever...crashed big time. I tried posting on Adobe forums, Flex coders...nobody wanted to touch it I guess. After about a week I submitted it on Flex coders as a possible bug. Well, that got a semi-timely response from Adobe. They asked for code (of course) and said the would be looking into this matter. If this is a bug, Man! what are the chances...My very first Flex app and it's not working cause of a bug. I really need to start smaller I guess. If it's not a bug, Man! I have a lot to learn about Flex and AS3. Either way I still think Flex rocks and hope to continue developing with it for years. UPDATE 12/05/2006 - I just installed the 9.0.28.0 version of Flash player and cannot break my application. Click on it all day long and no crash. Thanks Adobe...not sure what changed from 9.0.16.0, but thanks anyway.
