<window>.postMessage( JSON.stringify({ method: 'slide', args: [ 2 ] }), '*' );
```
#### postMessage Events
When reveal.js runs inside of an iframe it can optionally bubble all of its events to the parent. Bubbled events are stringified JSON with three fields: namespace, eventName and state. Here's how you subscribe to them from the parent window:
```javascript
window.addEventListener( 'message', function( event ) {
var data = JSON.parse( event.data );
if( data.namespace === 'reveal' && data.eventName ==='slidechanged' ) {
if( data.namespace === 'reveal' && data.eventName === 'slidechanged' ) {
// Slide changed, see data.state for slide number
}
} );
```
This cross-window messaging can be toggled on or off using configuration flags.
#### postMessage Callbacks
When you call any method via the postMessage API, reveal.js will dispatch a message with the return value. This is done so that you can call a getter method and see what the result is. Check out this example:
```javascript
<revealWindow>.postMessage( JSON.stringify({ method: 'getTotalSlides' }), '*' );
window.addEventListener( 'message', function( event ) {
var data = JSON.parse( event.data );
// `data.method`` is the method that we invoked
if( data.namespace === 'reveal' && data.eventName === 'callback' && data.method === 'getTotalSlides' ) {
data.result // = the total number of slides
}
} );
```
#### Turning postMessage on/off
This cross-window messaging can be toggled on or off using configuration flags. These are the default values.
```javascript
Reveal.initialize({
