I was able to get access to the parent frame by using the ExternalInterface and calling a function like:<br />

<pre><code id="code-103902">&lt;script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;&gt;
function getTestVal() {
	return parent.document.getElementById('test').value;
}
&lt;/script&gt;
</code></pre>

Accessing data from an IFRAME in Flex

Apache Flex is a highly productive, open source application framework for building and maintaining expressive web applications that deploy consistently on all major browsers, desktops and devices (including smartphones, tablets and television). It provides a modern, standards-based language and programming model that supports common design patterns suitable for developers from many backgrounds. Flex applications can be deployed to the Adobe Player in the browser, Adobe AIR on desktop and mobile devices or to native Android, iOS, Windows or Mac applications.
