Recording Coded UI Tests in Internet Explorer 9

Is this possible? I need to do some testing on a web application, but have run into a few problems. Namely, the majority of the web app is dependent on a process that involved uploading a file (the actual upload is done via Flash). Additionally, the web app will not run in IE 8, IE 9 compatibility mode, etc. It will run in Firefox, Chrome, etc., but I do not know of any way that I can record my tests using these browsers and then modify them or play them back in Visual Studio 2010.

The most obvious answer is "don't require Internet Explorer 9, and definitely don't use Flash at all in the web app", but that probably isn't an option. This is an application that has been in development for several months before I even started working here, so I don't think the other developers are very keen on having me come in and scrap large portions of their work. Unfortunately, this combination of Flash and IE 9 has made testing very difficult for me.

I can successfully record a Web Performance Test in IE 9, but test playback fails because the file that is uploaded is uploaded to a directory on the server that uses a Guid in the path. So what happens is, when I play the test back, it is looking for a different (incorrect) Guid/path. I don't see anywhere that I can change this in the normal Web Performance Test (Coded or otherwise).

If I do a Coded UI Test, I can change this according to my needs, but my problem is that I can't get the test to record properly in IE 9. Any ideas?
