JS “Play” function for flash movie

[Rumor]

Hi.
Here is my issue:
I have the following frameset (I quote it so that the “name” and “id” values can be viewed)

<frameset rows="0,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
  <frame src="html/sound.htm" name="topFrame" id="topFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize />
  <frame src="html/index-gr.htm" name="mainFrame" id="mainFrame" />
</frameset>

The first frame (topFrame) includes the html document containing a flash movie (a sound loop).
The other one (mainFrame) displays my pages that have a flash button to control (play) the flash movie of “topFrame”
This is done by using a getURL function on the flash button…

on(press){
   getURL('javascript:startFlash()')
}

…that calls the JavaScript function of the same html document containing the flash button:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function startFlash() {
   parent.topFrame.soundmovie.Play();
}
</script>

The problem is that it only works with internet explorer.
Note that the “startFlash” function is called in all the other browsers I checked (as I tested it with an alert) but the flash movie (sound loop) can’t be handled in any one of those.
Finally, note that I have tested it without a frameset as well but again only internet explorer plays the movie.

I can’t think of any other -simple for me- way to play my movie in other browsers.
