Problem with Flash object and Windows XP Themes

I'm writing a program using Visual Basic .NET 2003. I'm using a manifest file to use the windows xp themes when running the program under windows xp. Everything was working fine as far as the themes go until i added the macromedia flash object to my program. Now the themes are working incorrectly. I'm using a TabControl for navigation through different parts of the program. The windows xp theme works on the TabControl, but nothing else now. Before i added the flash object the theme worked on the buttons, radiobuttons, and other controls, now it's only on the tabcontrol and on message boxes. I'm using group boxes to keep everything organized and neat. But i'm not using a group box around the flash object. Can anyone tell me why the themes stopped working when i added the flash object? I know it has something to do with the flash object because i cut the control from the form and ran it without the object on it, and it worked fine, then pasted it back and it did not work. Thanks.

Can anyone help with this? Its getting really annoying. When i take the control off the form, the xp theme is on the program just fine, but when i put the control back the xp theme only works on some of the controls.
