hi everyone,

all I want to do is stop all the annoying sound that is coming from embedded flash animations and videos.

I wanted to stop the sound of an embedded swf file, over which I have no control. After hours of search I figured out that that's impossible :( Here is the file I embed:

<embed src="http://games.mochiads.com/c/g/la-main-the-thierry-henry/the_hand_of_thierry_henry.swf?playSound=var_stop" volume="0" width="520" height="400">

?playSound=var_stop is not working
volume = "0" is not working
I read that function stopAllSounds() does that, but it doesn't work for me. I think it's because I have no access to the flash file and I can't put it in the right place.

Is there no way whatsoever to disable sound on embedded objects? Can I at least use javascript, HTML or something else to mute all the sound coming form a page?
