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.
Ok, actually I made some changes, and got the code working now. It's a
pretty 'brute force' method of doing it, and the sound is not real great
either, but you can generate different tones now.
