Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

Kids site www.poptropica.com fails to 'start'. Flash game. It is as if the flash engine doesn't allow for clicks in the flash window - i.e. flash buttons do not work.

1. Release Ubuntu 10.04 beta 2
2. huh?
3. I expected it to allow my kid to create a character and play the game.
4. Nothing - no acknowledgment of anything being clicked on.
