As we already implemented these functionality in our project I decided to build a sample Flex project and share it. Wiimote in combination with the WiiFlash project let's you easily communicate between Flash (Flex) and the controller. Trevor McCauley released a VirtualMouse class that is able to virtually create a Mouse which supports all functionalities of a real one: movement and event triggering. These things combined are absolutely cool... a Wiimote controlled mouse!

NOTE: The virtual mouse is only available inside you Flash/Flex movie. It is not able to control you system so there are no risks at all. Enjoy!
