I can't fix Adobe for you. I'd like to, but can't.

You have essentially two choices:

1. Don't use flash.
2. Use flash and put up with what it does. Or try various versions to find one 
that sucks less.

You really have no other choice in the short term.

There is one medium term option you may want to pursue, to persuade Adobe to 
write nice good clean code. A lot of people will be very happy if you succeed. 
Which doesn't actually do much about your immediate problem.
