I couldn't find a bug filed; go ahead and file one.
Consider the following snippet when filing your bug (may be a simplified
version of what's going on):
<html>
<head>
<title>Flash in a paragraph</title>
</head>
<body>
<p style="border:1px dotted blue;">
<embed style="border:1px dotted blue;"
src="http://www.lastingcdn.com/165.swf"; quality=high
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash";
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="81" height="32"
bgcolor="#FF0000"></embed>
</p>
</body>
</html>
The Flash is drawn OUTSIDE the paragraph. Changing the <p> to a <div>
draws the flash inside as expected.
Meanwhile, I'd suggest not using Flash anyway, unless you can include
some sort of alternate text for those without the plugin or who are
unable to read visual-only formats.
Good luck
