Making Flash 4 interact with VB6

I am making an application which incoporates Flash movies, which is easy to do using the Flash 4 OCX. But is there anyway to make FLash be able to "talk" with VB? For example, I would push a button in the Flash movie and it would load up a new form or change the background color or anything for that matter. It sounds to me like a lost cause except I have an app (not mine and I don't have the code for it) that was made in VB6 that does exactly what I'm talking about.
There is a way to make Flash interact with Javascript so this might have to do with it... but I don't know Javascript.

Please help!

Create a splash page with real Flash

You've probably seen this plug-in in Web pages, some good and some bad.
But did you know that you can also use the Flash plug-in in Visual Basic? While it may seem to have limited use, many developers have begun to use the plug-in to display graphical GUI buttons, as well as animated splash screens. To take advantage of the Shockwave Flash OCX (also known as Flash Player) in Visual Basic, you must have it installed
on your machine. If you don't already have it, visit
http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/ and select the
Flash Player | Download Flash Player menu option, which leads you to a simple, three-step download process.

The Shockwave Flash component uses Flash Player Movies, which use the extension .smf. The Flash software also creates FLA-formatted files, but you can't use these with the Flash component. Once you create a movie, drop a Flash component onto a form, and enter the movie's path and
filename into the Movie property on the property sheet. When you launch the program and form, Flash plays the animation.
