I'm confused about how someone can "control" something from a video. It
sounds like you want to replicate the fancy graphics of your flash GUI
on a platform that doesn't support flash but does have good javascript
support. Maybe these two projects are relevant:

Raphael [0] is a javascript library for generating and manipulating
vector graphics.

The Dojo [1] javascript toolkit (a project sponsored by IBM , Sun, and
Zend) includes two modules (dojox.charting and dojox.gfx) related to
graphics.
