Sorry, forgot to mention - I'm using miniAudioPlayer.

Yeah, that's the way a human would stop it. I want to stop it from a JavaScript so I can control playback from another element on the page.

I got it working, not sure if it's the "best" way.

I modified the jquery.mb.miniPlayer.js script to include a public method that will return an object reference to the player with a specific ID. To do this, I added the private function "getPlayer" after the changeFile function, as follows (don't forget to add a comma after the closing "}" in the changeFile function):

getPlayer:function() { var ID= $(this).attr("id"); var $player=$("#"+"MP_"+ID); return $player; }

Then I added the public method "mb_getPlayer" to the end of the file, as follows:

$.fn.mb_getPlayer = $.mbMiniPlayer.getPlayer;

Now I can get a reference to any player object in my own JavaScript code by calling:

var myPlayer = $('#m1').mb_getPlayer(); //m1 is the ID of my player

Finally, I can use the "myPlayer" object to call any of the generic "jPlayer" methods, including "pause", as follows:

myPlayer.jPlayer("pause");

If anyone has a better idea, let me know.
