[Flashr] simple tag search

Hi, Kevin:

Thanks a lot for all the answers. I can already load images from Flicker in
Flash applications:)  By the way, I learn Flash 8 professional supports
webcam detection and I have seen some cool applications based on this
feature. I am wondering if it is possible to use our finger as the mouse
(input device) to move/interact with the images. Since images are loaded
into movie clips, maybe Flash 8 can detect if our finger (instead of the
mouse) enter the movie clip easily as long as it can recognize the finger
motion?
