n the embedded iframe is loading a Flash object. How do I then
identify this has occurred ? I have no idea what to do at this point
!!!

You just apply the same approach recursively. You detect a mouse click
in the top-level document. You figure out which element is under the
point. If the element is not a frame or an iframe, you proceed to check
whether it's a flash movie. If the element is in fact an iframe, you a)
translate the coordinates of the mouse click into the coordinate system
of the iframe, and b) repeat the process with the iframe's document.

It's possible that, inside an iframe, the mouse click falls into yet
another, nested iframe. Then you, again, translate the coordinates
relative to that second iframe and proceed with that iframe's document.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
