Yeah, it's one of the many other good features in noscript, my favourite which I use often is plug-in control for Java and Quicktime/Realmedia, those are awesome because they are hidden behind collapsible placeholders and need your permission to start.
And seeing the numerous bugs and vulnerabilities for Adobe's flash plug-in, I was tempted to use noscript's placeholder for Flash as well. But it's unfortunate that noscript puts up placeholders for items which would have been blocked by ABP to begin with, meaning lots unnecessary placeholders every time you have flash ads. Noscript would have been better if it only offered placeholders for the remaining relevant Flash objects that has gone through ABP's filtering. So since the Flash placeholder doesn't play nicely with ABP, I've opted not to use it.
That one is high on my wish list, but noscript is a great extension already even without Flash placeholder. As far as I can remember, I think Wladimir once talked about placeholder functionality for Flash in the future, once he resolved some issues that allows you to load/unload objects, this one is probably somewhere at the top of my wish list, can't wait for it to happen
