QT in html, events fired and movie internals doc

Question

Hi,
The Javascript Scripting Guide says under "Executing JavaScript Functions From QuickTime", page 11:
Wired actions can be triggered by user interaction, as a result of a frame in the movie being displayed, or as the
result of arbitrary wired calculations.
It also briefly describes (page 23) the matrix and rectangle properties, saying "You can use a movie’s transformation matrix to scale, translate, and rotate the movie image. For details on the transformation matrix, see Movie Internals."
And the Rectangle is defined as "void SetRectangle(string rect)"
Where can I find the reference to the events fired by QT automatically ?
Where can I find this Movie Internals description ?
I'm not very familiar with javascript... That's not a QT issue, but where can I find a description of the rect ?
Many thanks

Yes, you can navigate to other pages using buttons/code in an swf file.  And you can trigger an event as well, though I don't know if that's what you intended to say if navigating to another page is what you are really after.
In AS3, to make a button work with code, you need to add an event listener and event handler function for it.  You might need to add a few (for different events, like rollover, rollout, clicking it, but for now we'll just say you want to be able to click it to get a web page to open.  In the timeline that holds that button, in a separate actions layer that you create, in a frame numbered the same as where that button exists, you would add the event listener:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1Click);
The name of the unique function for processing the clicking of that button is specified at the end of the event listener assignment, so now you just have to write that function out:
function btn1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
   var url:String = "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html";
   var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
   navigateToURL(req);
