jquery hide a div that contains flash without resetting it

Question

Greetings, I have written a modal using jquery UI and it appears at the front of a flash movie thus the html inside the modal becomes corrupt, I tried to hide the movie righ

Answer 1

Working solution:

Use $('#myvideo').css('visibility', 'hidden') to hide and
$('#myvideo').css('visibility', 'visible') to show the div containing the video.

Just tested it with firebug.

EDIT: Please note, this is different from .hide() and .show(), as they use the display css, instead of visibility.
