I was looking for a way to display a loading animated gif in the position on the page where the flash movie will load and play. (a flash movie that is not open source and has no preloader element).

My aim was to hide the flash while loading the swf then bring it back in when the flash movie triggers its onReady type event.

I had tried the display:none first and has th same problem as mentioned above. So I tried your suggestion.

It owrked, except there is an unfortunate side effect to either hiding or setting the size to 1px, in that if a user has a browser with a Flashblock plugin, they will not see the play button that Flashblock provides that allows the user to allow the particular flash movie to play. This can lead to a situation where the movie never plays, there is no way to get it to play, and the website visitor can end up thinking the site is broken.

Thanks a lot for the ‘1px’ update Sir. It saved my day.

Actually I noticed some problems with 0px height and width. Sometimes the flash needs any value but non-zero. So the simple solution is to put 1px for both height and width.
