swfobject replaces the target <div> with an <object>
this:
<div id="myflashgoeshere"></div>
becomes
<object id="myflashgoeshere" width="" height="" etc...>
<param />
</object>
so if you want to use visibility:hidden you need to ensure you truly keep a
'wrapper' div:
this:
<div id="mywrapper">
<div id="myflashgoeshere"></div>
</div>
becomes
<div id="mywrapper">
<object id="myflashgoeshere" width="" height="" etc...>
<param />
</object>
</div>
be aware that visibility:hidden may produce different effects on SWFs/Flash
Player depending on the browser.
