I had the same problem, using:

top.window.location= "http://www.google.com";

and I changed it to:

window.parent.location = "http://www.google.com";

Which solved it for me.

There is a way to redirect the parent frame cross-domain. It's a trick, actually. :-) It will work if you have access to the server hosting the parent frame.

Inside your frame, create a child frame, too small to be seen, from the same domain as the parent frame. Your little child frame is allowed to change the parent document's location.

Parent:

<iframe src="http://other-domain/doc.html"></iframe>

doc.html

All the stuff from the document...
<iframe width="0" height="0" src="http://original-domain/trick.html"></iframe>

trick.html

<script>
    window.location.replace("http://xxx");
</script>
