Thanks everyone, I appreciate the suggestions. I am indeed wrapping
this in a nested div. There are two div levels #main and #media. The
media div is what SWFObject replaces, and the print CSS for that is:
#media {
display: none;
}
I can't hide the main div as that contains all the other content as
well, but Philip's post made me wonder about the ID. It turns out
that I had SWFObject's attributes.id parameter set to a different
value than the container div ID. Once I set it to "media," the print
CSS worked perfectly. For some reason I thought SWFObject maintained
the same ID as passed to swfobject.embedSWF.
Thanks for leading me on to this!
