Control multiple fades on multiple sound objects?

Hi,

Im using the following actionscript to add fades to the standard sound object...

/* -------- start Sound Object Fade ActionScript extension --------
Sound Object Fade ActionScript extension v 1.0
Copyright Hayden Porter 2003.

Note: Flash 5 backward compatibility requires a simple looping 2 frame mc in library to execute fades.
MC must have linkage ID "soundfader" and be in the same SWF as the sound object. The
extension attaches this mc for each fade and removes the clip after fade. For Flash 5 player compatibility,
you must save the SWF containing this script in Flash 5 format.

so.changeSoundValue();
//soundfader frame 2 - loop back

Which works fine initially, however when i try to fade more than 1 sound at a time or multiple fades close to each other in the timeline then all hell breaks loose, lol. Other sounds that literally have no right ot be playing start playing, sounds that should have been faded out and stopped start up again and basically nothing really works as it should:(

I've uploaded the FLA to http://www.kre8webdesign.com/temp/sound.fla and the SWF to http://www.kre8webdesign.com/temp/sound.swf , if anybody can help, that would be greatly apprecitated:)
