How to Prevent Endless Buffering after Playback?

Question

I'm using the Strobe Media Playback player.
The video works very well on both iOS and Desktops, (I'm very pleased), but I'm seeing an anomaly after playback ends.
When the video has finished playing, it begins buffering, or at least the "Buffering..." animated display appears, (see image below).
This occurs only when viewing the desktop versions of the videos.  When I view it on an iPhone, the Buffering... message doesn't appear.
How do I prevent "Buffering..." from appearing after a video finishes playing?  It gives the impression something's broken, or that more video is about to play.
Here's the html I'm using to link to the Strobe Media Playback .swf:
!-- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  FLASH/ANDROID VERSION  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --> 
  <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
                    <script type="text/javascript">
                              var flashvars = {};
                              var params = {};
                              params.allowfullscreen = "true";
                              var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF("http://myFMS.scoe.net/videoPlayer/swfs/StrobeMediaPlayback.swf?src=http://myFMS.scoe.net/v od/myProject/myVideo_manifest.f4m", "myAlternativeContent", "325", "247", "10.1.0", "expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>
