I've noticed a lot of Flash navigation sites are really buggy in Chrome, and I was wondering if it's because they were made with earlier versions of Flash?
I know Chrome has Flash built in, so I imagine it's just the latest version... not exactly sure why Flash is always so buggy for me in Chrome.

I've seen some issues as well. It's not a problem with the developer.. not always anyways. Just like issues exist with flash player and firefox.
I was working on rich media banners that used local connection objects, for example. Worked flawlessly in safari and firefox, but chrome had issues storing the connection. It was a textbook implementation of that technology, so was clearly not a dev issue.

I read someone complaining about the same thing in another board, perhaps it's a bug in Chrome

I found that the speed of animation is quite quick in chromes flash relative to safari / firefox making things move quite jagged...
What bugs (specifically) are you speaking of?!

Weird. I noticed Chrome has started crashing on me a lot. I wonder if Flash is the culprit.

Each Chrome window runs in it's own process, a different architecture than Firefox/Safari/IE, I can speculate that Chrome is more likely to not let a flash memory leak expand as much as other browsers, hence chrome seems to have more "flash crashes" ....
if you have a bunch of chrome windows open, check the number of processes (ps -aux on mac command line, CTRL-ALT-DELETE on windows) and see the memory consumption, kill the one with the most RAM, then reload pages to keep other stuff open even if flash has crashed....

Well, for me the Chrome browser isn't crashing with Flash... it's only the Flash interactivity that's kind of funky. Links have to be double-clicked to work and roll-over states aren't functioning properly...
