Can Flash be used to create imagemaps via web browser? I want to  
upload an image, then use flash to draw a box over the image, and  
assign a link to that box. So I’d need a very simple “toolbar”,  
basically just 2 tools. One to draw a rectangle (and show it as  
transparent so I can see what is being drawn) and a pointer tool to  
select the boxes. After selecting a box, I need a way to assign a link  
to the selected box. The way I see it, Flash would need to capture the  
starting and ending coordinates of the box, and display those in the  
imagemap code.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
