sending variables to active x object

[subtvshow]

Hi, I have an html page with an active x object embedded in
it. (windows media player) I also have a text list next to
it, that when a text item is rolled over with the mouse,
it displayes another pop up menu with specific choices.
I want the specific choice, once clicked to either load
or display another list of items in either another layer
or page, into the main html page. From that other list,
i need to make it so that a button selected on there
will play the correct video on the media player.
I implemented an iframe and loaded an html in it,
wich contained the video loading button. But when pressed,
it doenst send any variables to the main page that has the
media player in it. I would like to be able to display this
specific selection in a layer instead, so that I dont have
to send any variables between pages. Is this possible? can
anyone help me solve this mess? The idea is simple, but the
execution is so complicated.
