I do not know if you can make this work in browsers that suffer from this problem - which from some testing seems to include at the time of writing the latest versions of Chrome (Linux), Firefox (Win/Linux), Safari (Win), and Opera (Win/Linux)) - but in Internet Explorer (or at least in IE6 and IE8, on Windows XP) the Flash applet is not reloaded.

So I've decided to just never try to do something like this and store my Flash state in JavaScript as was suggested in the first answer.

Anyways, sorry for not providing a real answer, but since this was the first google result when googling for the same problem I felt it might be usefull to list which browsers I know of that have this issue (I'd reply to jayarjo's comment but I do not have enough reputation for that yet :/)
