I would say it is most definitely a known issue with embedding flash dynamically which requires knowledge of the stage.size. We have to wait for Adobe to fix this, or as authors of flash content, you have to be aware of that. Or don't use dynamic publishing, instead use the static publishing that swfobject provides.
