Hi kay I've had this problem on Moz and FB, can't for the life of me remember what the solution was though! The black objects seem to randomly (dis)appear while scrolling?
Try adding a class to the object and embed tags and size the movie with CSS. Or you can wrap the object in a block <div> tag - size that using CSS then set the object tag to width and height of 100%. ~may work... The other option is to do away with the embed tag entirely and use Object only the w3c way (a la Satay) (alistapart.com #154). You may have some random issues with IE5 on Win so it depends on who your audience is. Here are some survey results (http://www.antix.co.uk/poll_flashSatay.aspx?i=1&show=results) Funnily enough Mozilla, Opera7 and Safari support <object> far better than IE. I think IE support it's own object tag. Good article here http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/07/02/dive.html on this aspect.
