Fabrice, I can't seem to reproduce these no matter what I try. Have used the mousewheel while the Flash movie is loading and once it is complete, with and without clicking on the Flash movie or house. Can you confirm which version of the Flash plugin you have installed?
Can anyone else see if they can reproduce this behaviour in Safari on 10.6.2? I'd like to try to fix it asap.
