Flashplayer 11 bug - Background colour not being applied.

I have some Flash that doesn't display it's background colour when using Firefox 6.02 and IE 7.0.5730.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Here is an example:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/presenters/games/#/lb/presenters/presenters-birthdaytime

The background colour here has been applied as part of the build and not in the embed code. This has never been a problem with previous Flash Players.

Is this a known issue?

I have been on a journey for awhile concerning getting to the issues of what what going on with my PC. I always update accordingly. I went to IE9 with no issues, then the New Yahoo Mail with no issues, then I did an update for Adobe Flash 11 from 10 and did not actually connect that this Adobe 11 update  was the issue all along until about 3 days ago. What was happening was messed up background colors on the King.com website I play games on and then on my Yahoo Mail page when the animated ad on the right of my mail page would come up I had that same ad flash on the left side of my mail page just above my inbox menu. I was also getting the previous pages I was at flashing prior to the page I was going to come up. Multiple pages in the background prior to the page I was going to. I went to the Mocrosoft Forum and it was suggested I do a system restore and I did. I restored back to Oct. 1st, all the issues I had went away. I was back to Adobe 10 also. The other day (3 days ago) the update for the Adobe 11 came up again and I did the update. ALL THE ISSUES I WAS HAVING PRIOR TO THE SYSTEM RESTORE WERE BACK AGAIN! I uninstalled the Adobe 11 update and the issued again disappeared. I tried to find Adobe 10 to install with no success thru Adobe. I reinstalled Adobe 11 thru this Adobe site and all the issues were back again.

I DID ANOTHER SYSTEM RESTORE. MY PC IS BACK TO ADOBE 10 FLASH AND I WILL NOT DO THAT ADOBE 11 UPDATE WHEN IT EVENTUALLY COMES UP AGAIN. IT IS TAINTED, BUGGED, A PHANTOM, call it what you want, but Adobe needs to fix their issue with it. People are having PC issues after installing it and it is only thru process of elimation that you can really see that the update is definately tainted. What really ticks me off is that I ran the scan everytime before I downloaded the update of Adobe 11 and nothing was picked up. They can keep there update and they need to fix it. My PC is just fine again. People shouldn't have to do a system restore to get back Adobe 10, it should be available to go back to thru Adobe without bugs. Shame on Adobe for it's lack of considerations over its products they have to install by the public.

Hope this helps

Then, again, some people are not having problems with Flash Player 11.

People shouldn't have to do a system restore to get back Adobe 10, it should be available to go back to thru Adobe without bugs

Mr. Meyers,

You are one of the lucky ones not having any issues.  And it is a fact that I could not find Adobe 10 to go back to from Adobe even on your link. I did not do the system restore just to get back Adobe 10 either. I had to go thru a process of elimination to see what was, in fact, causing the issue to begin with. It is the Adobe 11 Flash update and I am not the only person having the issue at all.  I never had any problems until that Adobe 11 Flash update appeared. AND Adobe had an issue a few years back with another update. Thanks for the input, but when a person is not experiencing what others are we do what we need to do to find out what is causing the issue we never had and usually it is some update causing an issue.
