onclick, onmousedown/up and Apple ActiveX Ctrl

[M.Shipp]

I have a quicktime ActiveX control embedded in a webpage. The ctrl/plugin
source is a SMIL file that points to a video with hotspots and the hotspots
point to webpages. What I want to do is when a users clicks on the video,
not only will they head to a webpage in a new browser, I want to be able to
record the click as well. In Mozilla, I can get onmouseup to do what I
need, which is fine. However, in IE 6, it appears that the ActiveX control
consumes onclick and onmousedown/up and doesn't bubble the event up,
according to what various Javascript manuals say will happen. Other
methods such as onmouseover seem to work fine. Is there a way to insert my
handler in front of the plugins handling? I've tried moving the onmouseup
call into the <OBJECT> tag, the <EMBED> tag and even wrote out the
javascript as attribute value instead of calling a method. None of that
seems to work. Any help would be appreciated. TIA.
