ActionScript 3 :: Extracting Metadata Object From MediaElement

I am attempting to retrieve metadata from a URLResource. The URLResource is not controlled by me, but passed into a function that I am using. The URLResource is created like this:

var resource:URLResource = new URLResource("[URL]");
// Add Metadata for the URLResource
var VideoParams:Object = {
Name:"Logo Video",
Owner:"Self",
[Code] .....

Now the URLResource contains the metadata. I will receive a MediaElement resource. How do I extract the metadata back? Here's what the debugger shows (media is a MediaElement object containing the URLResource w/ metadata) :

fdb>print media.resource.
$1 = [Object 246396705, class='org.osmf.media::URLResource']
_mediaType = null
_metadata = [Object 416970209, class='flash.utils::Dictionary']
[Code] .....

I've attempted extracting the metadata object with:
media.resource.getMetadata("VideoParams");
And a host of other attempts, but can't figure out how to get at that darned metadata.
