Ignore that...  it's happening on youtube.com with both conkeror and
firefox, and with both xulrunner versions (1.9.0, 1.9.1). For posterity,
here's what I did:

1) Go to http://www.youtube.com/user/ubuntudevelopers?blend=3&ob=4
2) Click on video which is linked inline. Widget graphically responds to 
mouseover and click event, but video doesn't play.

The plot thickens, however. This video *does* work (now I'm using just conkeror 
and xulrunner 1.9.1):
http://www.youtube.com/user/ubuntudevelopers?blend=3&ob=4

This video auto-plays just fine, but clicking the mouse to pause it
doesn't work -- *most of the time*... but if I click it many times in
rapid succession, *one* of the clicks will eventually get through and
pause it. Same with unpausing.

So the click event is being sent, in any case: the graphical
representation of the widget changes on click. And the pausing does
happen *sometimes*. Perhaps the event isn't making it to the "video
playback" handler --- being consumed (sometimes) prior to that? Perhaps
handler is broken? But I don't know flash code or the plugin code, so
perhaps this is all nonsense. :-\

In any case, why does that one video work while the other one doesn't?
Like I said, I know nothing of flash. Is there a significant difference
in the way that these videos are "embedded" on the page --- like
whatever <script> tags, etc. that you use to put flash in a page?
