Need to reach the end of a flash movie embedded into HTML with C#

Question

I am attempting to use Selenium WebDriver in C# to make a single click on a page to skip to the end of a movie.

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" 
data="flash.swf" width="100%" 
height="100%" bgcolor="#000000" id="player" name="[player" 
tabindex="0"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" 
value="always"><param name="seamlesstabbing" value="true"><param name="wmode" 
value="opaque"></object>

I am somewhat lost. I tried searching for a simple click coordinate method for Selenium WebDriver, but with no luck. I tried to look into using JavaScript to control the flash, but unsure what script I might use. I am coding in C#, I am open to any potential solutions. My end goal is to simply skip to the end of the movie.

Selenium can only control the browser DOM. To control other objects, see Genie, AutoIt, Sikuli, Robot, or any number of other tools / frameworks.

Any installed packages would only be local to my visual studios. I need it to be a code solution or file that I can "check in". – Erick Stone Jun 20 '14 at 15:08
The libraries work and if I only needed them local to my box, that would be great. I'm going to consider this question answered and mark it so tomorrow with the link commented above. I thank you for showing me these libraries though. These are really cool. :) – Erick Stone Jun 20 '14 at 19:39

I managed to find this. I hope it helps for anyone who comes across this.

IMouse mouse = ((IHasInputDevices)driver).Mouse;
ILocatable locatableItem =   
    (ILocatable)Driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("YOUR CSS"));
mouse.MouseMove(locatableItem.Coordinates, X, Y);

The needed libraries are: using OpenQA.Selenium;
