IFrames, Microsoft Media Player, JavaScript

Question

We have a Flex App where an I-Frame loads a secondary HTML
page with an embedded MS Media Player object. It is extremely
important that we be able to use JavaScript commands to control the
MS Media Player.
The MediaPlayer object has an ID of MediaPlayer. We want to
be able to issue JS commands to do the following:
function getPlayheadTime() {
document.MediaPlayer.control.pause();
var cp = document.MediaPLayer.control.currentPosition();
document.MediaPlayer.control.play();
The problem - specifically the browser doesnt appear to see
the DOM for the media player when it is playing in the I-Frame. It
just isnt there at all. Even Firebug appears blank. So we can't
seem to get the handle to MediaPlayer whenter we issue a handle as
MediaPlayer.somecommand or MediaPlayer.control.somecommand.
Is it the fact that the I-Frame in Flex is somehow not seeing
the document components? Its very strang.
PS The page and JS works file when we run it just as a script
in an HTML (i.e. no IFrame).
