White background flash when swapping movies using SetURL

I am trying to set up a video demo of a media center, therefore there are several movies (music, movies, photos etc.) that when clicked all play in the same pane on the screen. I am using QuickTime movies and swapping using the javascript setURL function, code excepts at the end of this message.

Now click to swap the movies and on Internet Explorer 6 and Firefox (PC) you normally get a white flash in the movie pane before the next movie plays, now this doesn't happen ever on Safari (Mac) but does sometimes on Firefox (Mac).

I know this can be done as Apple does something similar on this page, and it does not have the white flash before the movie. http://www.apple.com/appletv/tour.html

Live example: http://centerstageproject.com/streaming/v2/

I am pulling my hair out, is this possible?

Thanks

Neil
