Here's an update, just in case someone else is having the same problems. >From looking around more on the zinc forums, it seems others are having problems running AS3/Flash Player 9 apps in Zinc 2.5. I also tested another wrapper called Janus which worked, so this confirmed that the problem is with Zinc.
Since Janus is not cross platform and doesn't have the controls to disable the right mouse button, we will likely wait until Zinc 3.0 comes out and try again.
