Ah, I get ya ... I think ... So the API frame calls a 'communication' frame with a URL/form submission that sets some variables by doing a frame.location.href or something like that. At that point your API frame goes on to its next command, but the communication frame may not have finished loading. Is that the right scenario?
Can you do a setInterval() or similar and keep checking to see if a variable in the communication frame has been defined yet? CF could return JS that sets a variable at the end of the page, so your caller would know it was done and could then retrieve the data it needs? Or the communication frame could call a function in your API frame telling it that it was done? Sorry if I'm totally missing what you are doing and being no help!

I am working on a project that has to intergrate content that uses a standard set of calls to an api to send and recieve data. I have set up the system to use a frame with the API name to recieve the calls and I can catch request and send them back to the object calling, but I need the ablity to call and update client or session variabled. Setting the varibles is easy, I set up another frame and the first frame calls the second frame that runs cf code to process the request. The question is how do I retrieve "get" client varible information back from the second frame to return back to the object. Any help would be great.
