Acces the editor from an external IFrame

I have until very recent used an old version of FCK where i could acces the editor from another IFrame by typing:

"var FCKEditor = parent.window.document.frames.[instanceName];"

Does anybody know how to access the editor in the latest release?

RE: Acces the editor from an external IFrame

Maybe I should descibe my issue a little bit more.

I have, in a really old version of FCKEdit, used an IFrame with a couple of smileys. When I clicked on one of thos Smileys it popped up in the editor.

But I dont know how to do this in FCKEdit 2.X.

I cant be the only one in the world who has this problem. Please share your knowledge!

I Solved the problem my self:

"var FCKEditor = parent.window.document.frames.[instanceName].FCK;"

RE: Acces the editor from an external IFrame

The followinf two lines both work in IE. The do the exact same thing, namely: Get the current FCK instance from another IFrame on the same page. But none of these lines work in FireFox.. Can someone give me a hint?

var FCKEditor = self.parent.frames.theInstaneName__IFrame.document.FCK;

var FCKEditor = self.parent.FCKeditorAPI.__Instances.theInstanceName;
