Issues with Chrome Mac and Flash

Question

I have a simple 250k flash movie a page i'm developing. The flash movie causes scrolling, javascript animations, and overall performance to be slow.

Here's the code

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
    data="/media/slider.swf"
    width="520" height="348">
    <param name="autoplay" value="true">
    <param name="movie" value="/media/slider.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="high"/>
</object>

The page performs normally on every other browser and OS pare i've tried it on. I've heard that the Chromes flash player on mac causes crashing and performance isn't great, but i'm having trouble finding a fix.

Any one having any success with this?

EDIT Here's a sample page I put up real quick with the error. If you resize your browser and have the blue block visible with and without the flash, then hover you should see the error. http://dev.danielcgold.com/flash/

I have tested your code and overall performance is not so bad, though scrolling is slow, indeed. :( Setting wmode param to opaque gives some improve, pastebin.com/FfQLjVbg, but also I suggest to decrease fps to 10 and review animaitons in your swf clip.
