A new (single) mouse click can be received once focus is removed from the flash window, and then returned. I'm not sure where the problem is, as the standalone flash player doesn't register mouse events AT ALL. It might or might not have to do with the emul-linux libs.

I have experienced this bug as well, but I can only reproduce it I have beryl running as my window manager. When I switch to kwin as my window manager, flash works fine.
This is because most window managers intercept the click event on a client in order to focus it. It then sends the event to the client. Flash does something horribly wrong and fails to act on this event. It can be worked around (probably in most wms) by holding down shift while clicking, since the wm usually only binds the mouse click without any modifiers. It's definitely an upstream issue in flash. I tried the 9.0.60 or whatever beta of flash and it had the issue even in the plugin (of not registering clicks at all unless you hold shift). The reason it works sometimes in focused windows in some wms, is that those wms unbind the mouse event on focused windows.
We can probably close this one and mark it as upstream http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2007/08/click_me.html The developer says he finally found the problem, and will have it fixed in the next beta release.
