I'm not running flash 10 to write it up and test it out, but you can
probably use Opera to view the page with an override done through
defineMagicVariable().  

eg. http://www.opera.com/support/tutorials/userjs/examples/

Can't believe they haven't fixed it yet, there has been a bug reported
for a few months now at adobe, but it really just needs CNN to fix their
code.
