Hi, I am not sure if this is the reason, but I think Flash, as browsers, follow the indication of the HTTP protocol to not allow more then 2 requests at the same time to the same domain. Google by pass this by storing their tiles in different domains (look at the urls of the requests).
Good luck. Javier.
