Hey, while applying to the Google OpenSocial program the following issue was found by the orkut team:
Clicking "Return to lobby" mid-game doesn't seem to work. The
browser's
status stays on "Transferring data from nonoba.com".

you join a game but the return to lobby button does not work

Due to some technical limitations in flash we are not able to unload AS3 files from memory and the "back to lobby" button therefore relies on reloading the website using a bit of javascript.
This has the added benefit of giving the owner of the website the game is embedded on an added page-view which most people like ;)
Hooowever, flash security does not permit this out of the box so you must use allowScriptAccess to grand the flash player to do this. Documentation here http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_16494
Now I know some of you guys are going to complain about the site reloading so here is a quick solution -- display your game using an iframe this will just make the iframe reload. Additionally you can host this iframe on a separate sub-/domain if you are paranoid about XSS
