Muting all browser audio with javascript

I'm doubting this is even possible but it would be a big help.

I'm throwing together a portfolio and bringing in external sites via ajax to fit in nice little "3D" containers.

The problem is.. 2 of them have audio that autostarts (yes, generally a bad practice but they work on these 2 pages).

One is html5 audio - simple enough, just .volume and set it to 0.

The other is an .swf. file. I'd like to mute ALL of the elements on the page, if possible.

Do you control the swf's? If so, turn it off. Or add a variable to the swf take a parameter to control the volume (e.g. http://example.com/myswf.swf?volume=0).

Otherwise, it's not possible.
