Apparently the above means that I either: a) Didn't have flash installed or b) Didn't have an up-to-date enough version of DirectX. As these were the only two things I changed to get the game to work. Fiddling with the display resolution or settings did nothing. Thanks for the hidden, cryptic error message 2D boy! ::)
