Sounds like the same issue that WMV files have which is why I don't use them.

I don't know if you are making your own FLVs or someone else is providing them but if you are making them you could do what I do and make them mp4 files instead of FLV and embed the mp4 in your Flash player. Like I did in this test page.

I actually tackled that idea. I tried to convert the trailer.flv into trailer.mp4 but although the conversion went without issues in Flash CS4, I could get to play it with Media Player Classic from K-Lite. I had converted it into NTSC High Quality or something like that. I shall have to give it a try again but more in-depth this time.
