Following my previous email, I thought of a better way to test
display:none
with flash.
Display:none causes the object not to be rendered, but it is still
instantiated in memory. The object exists and will begin loading, but but
will not be displayed or consume any real estate on the page. The visibility
style doesn't affect how the element is rendered, it only affects whether it
is visible or not, so an invisible elemnt still takes up real estate on the
page, you just can't see it. So if you have a table with display:inline that
is invisible, the space will be reserved for the table, but it will not be
rendered to the page. The display style sets the display mode of the element
(inline, block, or none), and determines how page space is reserved for the
element. It does not, however, tell the element anything at all about
whether to begin loading, elements will load according to their defined
behavior as soon as they exist on the page.
