Ditto. Now at least I know about what controls to try. ; )
I agree with RC, I think the problem is more likely to be your map.
E.g. when I zoom out to show the whole United States the animation
works fine but at the zoom level that you had it was stuck in a "Loading 2 of 0"
state. It's possible that that error could be due to another configuration
problem on my system. E.g. when I went to the Help page I got an Information
bar warning that the site wanted to use MSXML 5.0. Well, I have MSXML 6.0
and I'm not sure that I want to install MSXML 5.0 just for this. YMMV.

Try at least zooming out so you know that it isn't a problem with the data.

Those are other details that ProcMon might help you analyse. <eg>
However, you might get a few new clues by using Process Explorer instead.
E.g. with it when the map is loaded I can see (after doing a Ctrl-f for flash)
that iexplore.exe has Flash9f.ocx loaded. In my case it is loaded from
F:\WINDOWS\System32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9f.ocx
Note the System32 in that path? I'm wondering if you might have two
choices for it on your x64 and if so which one is chosen?
Another possibility, particularly since you are getting messages from the
web site about x64, is that the OS in your User-Agent is confusing things.
In that case you could try changing your User-Agent so the OS is spoofed.
I don't know if the standard User-Agent overrides try spoofing the OS or not.

I'd say it was time for more testing so you can refine your
symptom description... ; )
Good luck
