Javascript and Iframes 1

[jammer1221]

Hey All,

I have have an iframe in one of my pages and this iframe has some flash embedded on the page. The flash is turned into an object so eventually I can control playback.

I've been trying and trying and I can't figure out how to access this object from outside the iframe.

This is what I thought would have worked:

document.getElementById("iframe").document.mySwf//=flash object

But it says mySwf is null or not an object. FYI, I can access mySwf from inside of the iframe.

Any ideas or tips would be very much appreciated!

Thanks,
Matt

Is the document in the iframe on the same domain as the document that contains the iframe? If not, you'll have a hard time.

If it is, do a search on Google for something like "accessing iframe document" - I had a similar problem a while back, and found the answer fairly quickly.

Hope this helps,
Dan
