Can I remove a player and its controls using RemoveChild() ??

I am not a Javascript programmer, but know enough to be dangerous. (When I went to college we learned Fortran-2, COBOL was still an experiment).

From the code snippet below, I am using DIV to put two elements in the same space (separated by the Z-index). The top element is a video player with a transparent background. (A walk-on spokesperson).

This works fine, except that the client wants controls in the Flash video player, and when the video ends, the player controls remain on the page.

From what I've read, I may be able to accomplish this by using the RemoveChild() Javascript operator triggered by an event from the Flash player. But nothing I've tried works. Is my assumption wrong or is there a better way to remove the controls?

TIA
Steve
