Quicktime 7.3.1 mucks Flash playback
Thursday, December 13, 2007 
Tonight a new update to Quicktime has been released to fix a RTSP vulnerability and some other issues. Flash vulnerabilities in QuickTime are addressed:
Description: Multiple vulnerabilities exist in QuickTime's Flash media handler, the most serious of which may lead to arbitrary code execution. With this update, the Flash media handler in QuickTime is disabled except for a limited number of existing QuickTime movies that are known to be safe.
Okay, well this essentially seems to kill Flash playback from within Quicktime movies. I haven't seen much of this done anyway, but it was a handy way to creatively control QT playback with your own controls, etc. I'm not sure many will even notice this, but everyone should know this has happened so you don't go crazy thinking your code is bad, etc.
