Lazy-loading flash objects

Question

I'm using the jQuery lazy-loading plugin to defer loading of below-the-fold images on a large web page. This works great. Now, I would like to apply the same technique to a large Flash object which is also below-the-fold. I don't think the lazy-load plugin handles things that aren't images (at least it doesn't look that way so far.) I may have to do it myself. In that case, how do I detect when the area containing the Flash object becomes visible?

Edit: I think I may be able to hack something up using the jQuery dimensions plugin and keeping track of the div containing the Flash object.

Edit2: OK, I've opened a bounty on this question. If anyone can get to it before I have a chance to play around with this over the weekend, +250 to you. :)

Answer 1

If memory serves me correctly, setting the wmode parameter of the flash object in the DOM to opaque will do this. There's a bit of dicussion about the various wmode settings here
