Steps to reproduce the problem:

However, in my experience, the browser never actually asks me to enable Flash content even when there is clearly Flash content on the website. So, I have to basically select the Always allow on this site option in order for Flash to work.

Looking at the demo page, When the user attempts to go to the diagram editor they are presented with an "Enable/ Download Flash" link.  Click on that triggers the enablement UI, which works correctly.

This is working as intended, as we want an explicit user action to trigger the enablement of Flash Player (i.e. sites triggering that UI would lead to a problematic user experience).
