I'm using the scriptaculous library to fade div elements on the page that have a higher z-index than a flash piece on the same page. When the fading occurs, the flash flickers.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put a flash object on the page with a low zindex
2. Using javascript, fade in/out a div element that has a higher z-index than the flash piece
3. Notice the flickering
Actual Results:  
When the div element that is fading in/out happens to overlap the lower flash piece, it flickers.

Expected Results:  
Nothing to flicker.
