JWBox not working with HTML5 player API

Description

When JWBox was written, we wrote in a hook that made an explicit call to stop the player when the box was closed. (Note: This was because IE didn't kill Flash when it was no longer visible.)

JWBox was written long before the HTML5 player existed and the HTML5 player API and Flash player API are currently different (this will largely be rectified in the next release). Once these two come in line, we'll go ahead and update JWBox such that it'll stop both players without an issue.

We have great examples already with standard jQuery lightboxes. Maintaining our own JS tools isn't worth the effort.
