Arduino and AS3 Glue - have to run Flash app twice

I've got Arduino and Flash AS3 Glue/Firmata up and running and I must say its really fantastic. One strange problem though that I can't figure out is when first booting up the computer, then running serproxy, and then my Flash application, everytime the Arduino is not found. When I run the Flash application a second time, everything is fine. Unfortunately the project I'm working on is a kiosk type one so it needs to work un-attended the first time. I get the same results on both WinXP and running on LINIX on multiple computers so I'm pretty sure its something in the code. I also experienced the same problem using the sample test arduino app that comes with the as3glue download. On WinXP, here's my serproxy.cfg, I'd welcome any ideas.

Thanks in advance,
