While we're somewhat violating the spirit of the SWFObject thread for some
pseudo standard HTML troubleshooting, I'll step in:

It's a known "problem"/"feature" with many of the modern browsers that they
will completely unload and reload a Flash movie (and other items) if you
collapse the div object using the style display:none.

My understanding is that the only way to circumvent this issue is to use
display:hidden (although I suppose display block would work as well based on
what comes next) and simultaneously set the width and height of the div to
0.

This provides the same effect/behavior as display:none without unloading the
contents of the div.  Ironically, I think one of the IE browsers doesn't
unload objects with display:none whereas every other browser will.

Hope this helps.  Not tested, from memory.
