Does anyone know of any harm in hiding flash elements that collide with an overlaying DIV? By hiding I mean setting the css visibility to hidden. I understand that it requires a DOM traversal to look for objects and embeds which causes some overhead, but are there any other reasons why people don't do this? This is for sites that don't...

Overall, I'm in favor of breaking UI code into into modules. For example, if I have code that attaches handlers to back/next buttons that implements carousel behavior, i...
