Stopping videos by playing other videos?

Hey everyone,

I have a flash site in the form of an embedded SWF file. On this flash site, there is a page with two FLV videos sitting side-by-side.

Right now, I'm able to play one video, and then play the other and they'll run at the same time, audio included.

What I want to achieve is making it so that if you click play on one of them, it will stop the other if it is playing.

Any idea how this could be done?

When you set-up the player, you should be able to have a pause at start. So when the page is loaded, both are paused until the user hits play. Standard practice.

If you're looking for some cool pre-built FLV players, looks at: www.flashden.net.
