Is there a way to hide a flash based element but still allow its sound to play in IE?

I have an autoplaying flash element, and I've tried visibility:hidden and this works fine in every browser except IE (it hides the visual, but autoplays the sound).



Are there any other CSS rules I can use to hide the visual part of the element, but not the audio?

one thing you can do that I have seem work pretty good is to make the page into a frame....



you can make it 2 frames that are one on top of the other.



the first one will be 1 pixel in height and run along the top of the page and the other frame will be the rest of the page.



Since the first one is only 1 pixel thick it wont be seen along the top and in this frame you can put your swf file with the sound and just put the rest of the site in the bottom frame.



This also works great cause you can have your visitors click thru on the bottom frame and the top one will stay static so there is no disruption in the sound file.
