In relation to that, John Grden posted on his blog an experiment that can be seen as a multi-pointer control: he used two wiimotes (from the wii) with wiiflash and red5 to control two virtual pointers. With that he was able to play a virtual drum inside flash, using the wiimotes as if theu were the sticks.
