Javascript & Actionscript question

Javascript measures the distance of the mouse (on the whole page) to the center of each swf. It then sends each of those values to the swf itself so that it can process it. I'm getting pissed off at how badly as - js communication is explained, and I'm no programmer. Also I'm not sure how to measure the distance to an individual swf (its possible that there's a scroll, would it still work then?) Any ideas? Thanks

As for sending those numbers to the SWFs...I don't know. I've never even thought about doing anything like that. [edit] If you're using relative or scaled positioning you'll have to grab the browser window display resolution as well, and adjust everything (which will make it messier), but it's still possible :|
