You can access the global object of the parent window with "parent", 
even the global object of the top window with "top" for deeply nested 
frames. Precondition is that both pages are located in the same domain 
for security reasons, which will be no problem in your case.

So you may check parent.location.href, but you can also set up a 
function in the homepage that calls the play() function in the frame by 
accessing the frame's global object.
