Hi,
Is it possible for an extension to capture events from a Flash movie?
For instance, would it be possible to have an extension "being aware"
of which page the user is looking at in the Flash movie, or what links
the user has clicked in the Flash movie?
Cheers,
CB

Thank you Jorge,
I come to think of the action scripts developers put in their code in
order for Google Analytics etc to track clicks. Is it possible for
third party firefox extension to hook into those events/function calls
in any way?
