How to start all movies playing?

In the HTML below I have 3 embedded Flash movies which each can be started and stopped independently with a seperate link. But now I would like to make a link to start and stop them all three together. Is it possible to make a javascript to arrange for this so that the same idea can be extended to many more movies to be started and stopped simultaneously?

This is the HTML I have so far:
<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="generator" content="Adobe GoLive 4">
<title>Welcome to Adobe GoLive 4</title>
</head>

<body>

<object CLASSID="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
CODEBASE="NEED%20NEW%20CODEBASE%20FROM%20RAVEN" ID="flashfile1" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="74">
<param name="movie" value="nistelrodeavi.swf">
<param name="play" value="false">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed NAME="flashfile1" SRC="nistelrodeavi.swf" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="74" PLAY="false" SWLIVECONNECT="true" QUALITY="high" border="5">
</object>
<br>
<a href="#" onmouseover="flashfile1.Play();" onmouseout="flashfile1.GotoFrame(20);">Play and Stop 1</a>
<br>

I don't know about EXACTLY simultaneously, but since the movies start with clicks on links, if you name the links, you should be able to do: linkName.click() to get each movie running.

'hope that helps.

well it'd be "close" to all simultaneous :

function playall()
{
flashfile1.Play();
flashfile2.Play();
flashfile3.Play();
}

function stopall()
{
flashfile1.Stop();
flashfile2.Stop();
flashfile3.Stop();
flashfile1.GotoFrame(20);
flashfile2.GotoFrame(20);
flashfile3.GotoFrame(20);
}

pr you could use a var and use it as a flip flop, then conditional the two functions together as a stop start
