swfobject

I have a swf object embedded into a web page. Without having access to the source code of the swf file, how can I find the methods/properties that are exposed?

For example...

alert(document.getElementById('swfObject').id);

...returns a pop-up of "swfObject". And this...

document.getElementById('swfObject').someMethod();

...executes someMethod.

Thanks.
