SWF player to auto stop in IE!

[squarebyjia]

Ok, so i combined 2 javascripts to get what i needed: an open source flash player that has a playlist of videos for the viewer to choose from. But, after combining these 2 scripts, i realise that (and this only happens in IE.. FF seems to work fine) when i play one video, but don't manually stop it, and click on another link to another video, the last video still plays in the background.

I just need to know if there is any possible way to get the video to stop when i click on another link.

The player i used can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpwplayer

and the javascript for the gallery that i combined with the player can be found here: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/agallery.htm

Here's what I have in my HTML:
<div class="gallerycontent" subject="Changi Motorsport Hub - Sound Design">
<div id="flvplayer"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("mpw_player.swf", "swfplayer", "320", "240", "9", "#000000");
so.addVariable("flv", "showreel/video.flv");
so.addVariable("jpg","showreel/imagen.jpg");
so.addVariable("backcolor","000000"); // Background color of controls in html color code
so.addVariable("frontcolor","ffffff"); // Foreground color of controls in html color code
so.addParam("allowFullScreen","true");
so.write("flvplayer");
</script>
</div>

<div class="gallerycontent" subject="Changi Motorsport Hub - Sound Design">
<div id="flvplayer2"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("mpw_player.swf", "swfplayer", "320", "240", "9", "#000000");
so.addVariable("flv", "showreel/CMH.flv");
so.addVariable("jpg","showreel/ps.jpg");
so.addVariable("backcolor","000000"); // Background color of controls in html color code
so.addVariable("frontcolor","ffffff"); // Foreground color of controls in html color code
so.addParam("allowFullScreen","true");
so.write("flvplayer2");
</script>
</div>

<div class="gallerycontent" subject="Animagine - Original Music Composition">
<div id="flvplayer3"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("mpw_player.swf", "swfplayer", "320", "240", "9", "#000000");
so.addVariable("flv", "showreel/video.flv");
so.addVariable("jpg","showreel/imagen.jpg");
so.addVariable("backcolor","000000"); // Background color of controls in html color code
so.addVariable("frontcolor","ffffff"); // Foreground color of controls in html color code
so.addParam("allowFullScreen","true");
so.write("flvplayer3");
</script>
</div>

<!--HTML for gallery control options below. Remove checkboxes or entire outer DIV if desired --> </th>
<th width="234" align="left" valign="top"><img src="images/CDs.png" /><br />
<br />
<span class="MAIN">To view some of our works, <br />

Not sure if I have provided all the necessary information, but if i have not, please let me know!

Yup, so i don't know if there's a way to get the video to stop playing, but if anyone knows, please help me out?

Thanks!

This one seems a little more complicated, but maybe closer to what you are looking for:
