Based on Harrison W Hollingsworth's comment i mannaged to find a workaround aswell.

First of all, in order to find the id of the flash window, we need to run the following command from a terminal window:

sleep 5 && xwininfo

this will lunch xwininfo after five seconds - in those five seconds play a flash video full screen. When the time is over, your mouse pointer will change to a chrosshair, click on the playing video. Go back to the terminal window and look for a line similar to this one (should be the first one after the xwininfo version info):

xwininfo: Window id: 0x6108ada "exe"

the text within quotation marks is what we are looking for.

Open CompizConfig settings manager. Go to "General Options" >> "Focus & Raise Behaviour" tab. At the very bottom, in "Focus Prevention Windows" add

" || xid=exe "

to that line. Remember to change the text "exe" in this example with whatever you get in your terminal (i am using a 64bit beta of the flash player and the name may vary). The window id has to be added withouth the quotation marks, right after the "equals" sign.

Please report if this works for you

Cheers
