Subj : manipulate embed tag with javascript.

 How does javascript allow for modifications of a
plugin specifically.
<span id="soundbox">
<embed id="sound1" src="sound.wav" autostart="true">
</span>

 If I wanted to play and stop or pause a wav file, I
would think I would do:
document.getElementById('sound1').Play();
or
document.getElementById('sound1').Stop();
but does not work.

However this does work.
document.getElementById('soundbox').innerHTML'<embed
src="sound.wav" autostart="true">'

but the later method also reloads the plugin which
takes too much time I was wanting to know how
javascript interacts with plugins and how could I go
about adding  a .Play() .Stop() .Pause() property to
the plugin element? Would I have to add code to the
mozplugger javascript engine or both for this to take place?
