Either way, the fact is theres not much to be done... And no Flash
Player update will help, because most users will still have the buggy
version.

Er - and I'd say that's a bug (in Flash, not in the OP's code). The code

that checks if a movie is hanging should be looking at number of lines
of 
code executed. While a modal dialogue is up, it shouldn't be being
called at 
all.
