prevent firefox reload when changing element position/size

Question

i have a div which contains a flash object. the flash has a button that maximizes that object to the full height/width of the browser window[a sort full screen option but limited to the browser]. when ever the position[top,left] is changed it refreshes the content. because the flash object pushes data back and forth between the web app this causes problems. how can i make this change without triggering a reload? this seems to be an issue only in firefox.
