How to pass variable from page to Brightcove HTML player while using Video tag for the video?

This is the page:



<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" dir="ltr">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title></title>
<style media="screen">
body
background-color: #111;
color: #fff;

</style>

</head>
<body>

<script src="https://www.netapp.com/us/static/js/jquery-1.8.1.min.js"></script>
<video-js id="myPlayerID"
data-video-id="5448507890001"
data-account="260701648001"
data-player="FcmqUildl"
data-embed="default"
data-application-id
class="video-js"
controls
width="640"
height="360"></video-js>
<script src="https://players.brightcove.net/260701648001/FcmqUildl_default/index.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$( window ).load(function()
videojs.getPlayer('myPlayerID').ready(function()
var cid = "12345";
var myPlayer = this;
iframeTag = document.querySelector("iframe").contentWindow;
iframeTag.postMessage(cid, "*");
);
);
</script>

</body>
</html>


I want to pass variable from this page to the Brightcove Video that is added using video tag.



I have added below code as plugin in Brightcove.



videojs.registerPlugin('listenForParent', function() 
var myPlayer = this;
// This method called when postMessage sends data into the iframe
function controlVideo(evt)
console.log("evt.data" + evt.data)
;
// Listen for the message, then call controlVideo() method when received
window.addEventListener("message",controlVideo);
);


This gives the error Cannot read property 'contentWindow' of null. I was referring this example https://support.brightcove.com/brightcove-player-sample-playpause-video-iframe-parent which explains how to pass the variable from page to iframe.



How can we pass the variable when we have the video added with the help of Video tag.Any idea?
