webviewer keeps playing audio/visual content ven if URL changes

Just implementing a documentation system for documentation on the internet; works fine using webviewer BUT...

There is an oddity with pages that autostart and/or loop audio-visual content; once such a page has been started within my webviewer and I change the active URL of the webviewer, the audio/vis content keeps playing (without the page....

Example this URL

http://iaaa.nl/hh/LBclips/win-hh.html

When you open this URL in a standard web brwoser and click away from it, it stops (of course) palying; not so with FMP 10 webviewer.

Only while this URL is active I can "kill" the looping audio/vis URL by using the webviewer command Go URL and make the URL an empty string

Oddity is that when I activitate another URL from my databae and try to go back to the audio/vis URL it will not play anymore.

When I move to another URL BEFORE having "killed" the audio/vis URL, I can NOT anymore stop the playing of that URL... so I need to close the window to get rid of it.

To mee it "sounds" like a bug... the audio/vis stream is loaded into memory and my guess I need some command (say an Applescript) to "kill" that autoplay/loop thingy.

I do not exclude I did oversee some workaround (FMP is in/famous for it) but I am afraid I stumbled upon a mistake of webviwer.

Your suggestions are most welcome
