Help how to reset Flash

Anyone else experiencing this?

When I use a site with Flash content (e.g. BBC/iplayer, not just this site though) sometimes the video refuses to play and says that I need to install FLASH.

The link points me to the download site and it simply says that it is already installed.

Switching the phone on and off remedies but is there another way to 'reset' flash rather than a restart.

This happens usually when I have either paused a video or when jumping between sites, very frustrating.

update - decided to re-install flash and uninstalled the Flash update... this seems to have helped the issue..flash sites are also a whole lot more responsive... hmm
