Sean's method will work. However it still fails accessibility when
javascript is disabled. This may or may not be a concern.
if(Browser.Plugins.Flash.version >= 8){
document.writeln('<style type="text/css">div.swiff { display : none;
}</style>');
}
if your a purist and don't like the use of document.writeln you could inject
it in as well.
if(Browser.Plugins.Flash.version >= 8){
var rule = 'div.swiff { display : none; }';
var swiffCSS = new
Element('style').set('type','text/css').inject(document.head);
if(Browser.Engine.name == 'trident') swiffCSS.styleSheet.cssText = rule;
else swiffCSS.set('text',rule);
}
