Question

I have a question that is probably very simple, but I cannot find an answer here or on Google.

I am loading a SWF in an HTML page the following way (using JavaScript):

AC_FL_RunContent(
    "src", "${swf}",
     ....
    "type", "application/x-shockwave-flash",
    "pluginspage", "http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"
);

I have tried to add the line:

"style", "visibility: hidden"

But it has not worked. I can later on make it visible or hidden using:

document.getElementById("flash").style.visibility = "hidden";

But I would like to have the flash invisible and make it visible later on, but by adding a parameter in the AC_FL_RunContent.

I hope someone can please help me.
Thanks a lot.

<div style="position:relative;"><!-- this is a wrapper so that the cover will site directly over the flash. -->
   <div id="flash_uploader"></div><!-- this represents your flash, it is always visible -->
   <div id="flashCover" style="position:absolute; background: #fff; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;"></div><!-- this covers the flash until the flashvars are correct, hide it in your function when the flashvars are correct. -->
</div>
