New issue 5655 by adunar: Chrome intermittently fails to execute Flash  
embeds
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=5655

Google Chrome sometimes fails to execute Flash objects that are created by
JavaScript (by setting innerHTML on a DOM element). The failures seem to
occur at random, and seem to happen more frequently when Flash objects are
executing concurrently in other tabs.

Chrome Version       : 1.0.154.36
URLs (if applicable) : http://demo.apture.com/demo/chrome_flash_bug.html
Other browsers tested:
   Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
      Safari 3 (mac): OK
      Safari 3 (windows): Crashes, but it does that a lot anyway
     Firefox 3: OK
     Firefox 2: OK
          IE 7: OK

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. In Chrome, open a tab that has some Flash object in it, such as a Gmail
inbox or a YouTube video or both
2. In another tab, open http://demo.apture.com/demo/chrome_flash_bug.html,
which does the following:
    1. Using Javascript, creates a DOM element
    2. Sets the innerHTML of this element to the HTML for a Flash embed
    3. Appends this element to document.body
    4. Repeats several times
3. To increase the probability of failure, open more Flash objects in other
tabs (e.g. several Gmail inboxes).

At regular intervals, this test page appends a Flash embed to the document.
This Flash embed is entirely empty -- it is a new Flash Basic 8 project
where the only change was setting the background color to green to you can
tell if it loaded or not.

What is the expected result?

There should be a green box between each "|" character.

What happens instead?

In Google Chrome, there are occasionally white spaces where the Flash
object failed to load. The frequency of failures varies depending on what
is open in other tabs, ranging from less than 1% to more than 50%.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
