Issues with my Flex 2 project after upgrading version of Flash

Question

This has been happening for some time now....
I work in a computing environment where software/security updates are sent to workstations over the network automatically.  Everytime a new version of the Flash player gets released and pushed over the network, I have interesting/wierd problems develop in my flex application.
Today, we recieved the push of the nesest version of the flash player (10.0.22.xxxxxxxx).  Anyways, not I am getting my events throw in a different order, and the focus manager can no longer find which object to give focus to, resulting a null object reference (within a core flex class, not my own code).
This happens with every new version of the player that is released.  If I go back and use my code on a machine which has the older version of the player (say a vesion 9) it works perfectly!
Also, since I got this update today, my shared objects no longer load completely or correctly.  What I did was encrypt my data, parsed it as xml, and then sent this object to be saved into the SOL file.  They don't work the same anymore.  But the same code ran on a version 9 player works flawlessly.
This happens consistantly with upgrades of flash player, just different issues crop up, and I cannot request my network admin not upgrade the flash player, as it would effect over 10k workstations.
I am at my wits end here!  Anything, anybody got a bone to throw my way?  Any ideas?

Hello, rjcjsc. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
I understand that your Mac is restarting because of a problem and appreciate you including the log file.  Here are the most relevant troubleshooting steps for this issue.  However, the most likely cause for this would be your security software, Kaspersky. 
Software troubleshooting
Disconnect the external drive used in the above test to determine the kernel panic is due to a software based issue.
Start the Mac from OS X Recovery and reinstall OS X on your Mac.
Start from the installation of OS X you just created.
Use Software Update to install all updates until it reports "Your software is up to date."
Download and install any third-party software updates before reinstalling third-party software, especially drivers and kernel extensions.
     Examples include:
Virtualization software
Drivers for add-on third party display cards
Anti-virus software
Networking software (especially software which enables third party network devices)
Add-on file system support software; for example, software that lets your write to NTFS formatted media.
If the issue continues, you will need to erase and install OS X as follows:
Start the Mac from OS X Recovery.
Complete a disk image backup via Disk Utility of the internal drive to an external drive with enough free space.
Erase the internal drive using Disk Utility.
Install OS X.
Start from the internal drive.
Use Software Update to install all updates until it reports "Your software is up to date."
Re-install your third-party apps and copy your user data from the disk image backup you created in step 2.
Note: Avoid copying data from the /Library and /System folders on your backup disk image.
OS X: When your computer spontaneously restarts or displays "Your computer restarted because of a problem."
