Firefox Mouse Event Issues

I’m now convinced there is some sort of mechanism built into Firefox that seems to turn off the mouse event handlers in flash applications on the html page when the user scrolls the page or does any other sort of mouse interaction with the web page itself. This issue does not arise in IE (go figure that one) or chrome, but does seem to arise in Safari as well. I’m sure theres probably something I need to do to the html to make sure the flash mouse events are always active and superseding whatever mouse events are built into the browser. At first I thought it might be because the one nav bar i did was rather complicated with lots of layers and AS on multiple frames, but when I did a much more simple navbar with only 1 frame of AS, i still run into the same issue. Someone here has to know how to fix this!
