How to control playback from outside iFrame?

Question

I'm using a Swipe Cube template and on each side I've inserted an AnimateCC animation. When I swipe through the cube however all those 4 animations continue to run even when they are not in view. I've added them to the cube template through iFrames. The template has an optional function to do something when a transition has started or ended. Which would allow my to add some javascript to control playback of my iFrames. But how would I do that? I first would use a javascript line to getelmentbyid iframe. But then I would have to add something to control that iframe content. So I could use this.gotoAndPlay('start') to make the animation in that iFrame start from the beginning again. Is something like that even possible?

Canvas documents declare a global variable, exportRoot, that points to the root timeline.

And it's called an iframe, not an iFrame. Apple had nothing to do with it.
