Flash Movie interaction with HTML objects

erics98390 · 11-14-2004, 04:36 AM

I'm building a prototype where I use a flash movie to show a user how to do something. The movie floats on top of the web app and has a transparent background. The movie only contains a large hand that is animated to move to a specified position on the page. With this, I'm trying to show the user how to change a theme on my web app by playing a flash movie on top of the web page. The flash movie shows a big hand that floats across the page and stops on the link the user needs to select.

My question is, is there any way this hand can trigger events on the html page? For example; as the hand floats across the app, it floats over a series of tabs built with HTML on the web app. These tabs have DHTML mouseover effects that change the color when moused over. I want this hand to also trigger that event.

Is this even possible?
Thanks!
