Anyone have tips on making Flash read the image map on the host html page and parse it into a multi-dimensonal array (as would happen if we were importing xml)?

In a web-based project, we provide non-flash browsers with a jpg and image map. We want to grab the image map data directly from the html and send it to the swf so that Flash can construct hit areas and URLs from that data (it's too cumbersome to copy this data manually into the .fla). I'm having trouble parsing the image map data inside Flash. For one thing, I have to account for the way I.E. rewrites html (different quoting conventions, for example). It would be nice if the image map data were sent to Flash in more of an xml format.

Does this already exist? Any thoughts?

TIA,

Marc
