Flash and silverlight causing high temps on macbook air

Hello all,
I've had my macbook air for just over 2 weeks and I've noticed that when I play flash videos on youtube and silverlight videos via netflix my fan starts going crazy after a while. I can do other intensive tasks without the fan having to spin up.
Any suggestions?

Your computer is doing what it is supposed to do. There are few applications that are as CPU intensive as Flash - this is why Jobs didn't want it on the iPad or iPhone. Flash makes the computer work hard, the computer gets hot, and the fans start up.
