Cross-Domain Javascript execution library

In one of the projects I am faced with problem of the java scripts execution on different domains.
After advice from one of team leaders, the solution was found and it was a quite simple.
For example, we have A domain with frame that point to domain B which is to call javascript function in domain A.
If you simply call a window.parent.funcame you will get exception. So what can we do ?
It is very simple – in domain B we create frame to domain A and then we try to execute a function on domain A as window.parent.parent.fucname and how we can see function is executed succesufully.

So this script does this operation automatically without requiring knowledge of java script.

  1. How to use crossdomain.client(“frame”).callfunc(“showmelove” ) to pass an existing js variable/object/array from Domain B: to Domain A?

  2. Yes, it will work. But i want to do the same for ning, facebook or some third party. But, they will not accept to copy the frame.html in domain A. Then what’s the solution? Is it possible just copy an iframe Code in Domain A and reference to a single javascript file?
