There are security restrictions embedding flash inside a chrome-extension:// URL, which behaves much like a sandboxed file:// environment. Perhaps you're running into one.

Here are some bug links for you:

A potential workaround is to have an iframe point to an HTTP url with the flash content. You can also make an exception in the flash control panel, but that's per machine and probably not what you want.
