Using HTML/Javascript I want to make an link trigger a flash object that is normally triggered by clicking on the flash itself. The flash objects is actually the "Call Me Now" button from Google Voice which looks something like:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="https://clients4.google.com/voice/embed/webCallButton"
width="230" height="85">
<param name="movie"
value="https://clients4.google.com/voice/embed/webCallButton"/>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="FlashVars" />
</object>
When you click on the object the first time it brings up a set of fields to enter your phone number in to make the call. So I want to be able to trigger that action by having a user click on a different link (which would actually be the phone number that the widget would call.)
