AS2: detecting and interfacing with flash movie in a different window

Hey guys,
So I have a little popup window with a music jukebox in it, so that our internet radio can continue playing no matter where the user browses in the main window.

It’s super easy to call functions on the main window from the popup window (window.opener), and it’s easy to call functions in the popup window from the page that opens it using the var you assign to the window.open call. However my big problem is this: once the user browses to a different page in the main window, you lose the var with a link to the popup. So, the little controller buttons on the main page stop working on the popup once the user changes the location of the main window.

Is there a way (either in JavaScript or directly in flash) to detect if that popup is still loaded after being opened a previous page, so that the new page in the main window can continue calling functions in the jukebox popup? Thanks :slight_smile:
