Firefox restarts Flash movie if enclosing DIV properties change

I have a Flash movie embedded in some DIV. The trouble is that when I change any property of the enclosing DIV dynamically, Firefox (not other browsers) restarts/reinitializes Flash movie effectively resetting the whole progress (eg: file selection for upload, etc.).

Is there some sort of a workaround for this?

From stackoverflow

• Try hiding it with visibility:hidden or if all else fails, position:absolute;left:-9999px.

  I presume Firefox doesn't want to waste memory and CPU on Flash animation that's invisible, so it kills it.

  : Thanks, man! Does the trick!

• This isnt an answer, but for some reason im not able to post a comment.

  Anyway, the answer above does not work in Firefox 3.5 and Flash 10, setting position:absolute causes Firefox to kill the Flash instance. Setting visibility:hidden does work, but doesnt solve alot of issues as the div will still exist in the view.
