How can I call an embeded swfs function from within Javascript?

I have a swf that is a preloader for another swf (a game). I need to callback to the game swf from Javascript but can't figure out how to do this. I can call back into the preloader by registering a callback using the ExternalInterface.

I tried document.getElementById("preloader") which returns an object. The preloader has a public property called GameObj which returns a reference to the game object which has been loaded by the preloader.

The issue is, document.getElementById("preloader").GameObj is always null.

Is it possible to do this or do I need a wrapper call within the preloader?

Well, you can use ExternalInterface, but is there some reason you can't put your preloader in the same swf?
