Flash is reloaded each time the tab is selected on FireFox

Flash is reloaded each time the tab is selected on FireFox

Hi, guys. I'm using the jQuery UI Tabs. Inside one of the tabs, the tab T, I inserted a Flash object. The Flash object calls the external JavaScript method, hello(), when the creationComplete event is raised.

On IE7 the hello() method is called just once as I expected, but on FireFox 3 the method is called each time the tab T is selected. Apparently, on FireFox 3, the Flash object is release every time the tab T is hidden, and it is reloaded every time the tab T is selected.

How can I avoid this problem and load just once the Flash object?

Thanks in advance.
