Flash flicker on my html website

Hello,

I apoligize in advance for the newbie type question.

I made a website that incorporates flash for the portfolio pages:

http://www.bahdeebahdu.com/light_sculptures/index.html
http://www.bahdeebahdu.com/interior_design/index.html

When you open the page the flash section flickers/flashes white a couple of times before loading. I tried adding a preloader that checked for both total bytes and total frames but still got the flicker/flash.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
Aryon
