No, I don't. The problem is that I would need to change it for
InternetExplorer.jcf. I don't want to do that since it will most likely
mess up other websites for the end user. My goal is to get my
flash/flex app working somewhat correctly for end users without messing
up their other stuff.

Do you have the MSAA setting set to 3 in the .jcf file? Look at the
default Firefox.jcf for an example. MSAA-intensive apps such as Mozilla
ones are supposed to use this setting. I wonder if Flex is similar.
