Problems when playing flash games

Most flash games work fine for me, but occasionally I'll try to play one and it seems to freeze up... well, the game is still running, but I can't do anything. For example, if the game involves using the arrow keys, I can press those arrow keys as many times as I want and the game won't respond.

I never had this problem with the same games in Windows so I'm assuming it's not a problem with the games themselves.

I've tried running the games at a smaller size or at a lower quality; sometimes this will fix the problem but other times it won't.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Edit: I just tried a different browser (I use Firefox normally); the games that didn't work before seem to be working with Konqueror... so maybe this is just a Firefox issue?

I'm certainly no expert, but maybe the different browsers have different versions of the flash plug in or something?

Hmm, I'm not sure. I've also noticed that putting the mouse cursor in the window with the flash game fixes the problem sometimes... as soon as I move the mouse away from the window it quits working, even though the window is still active. Very odd I think...
