SVG grants this type of access.
Event handling is an integral part of the SVG specification.
If the job gets more complex use SMIL.
Javascript or rather direct DOM manipulation is needed to
communicate to the outside world.

--Don't think in graphical terms here, SVG is more than that.

Depends on what your requirements are, SVG has many predecessors.
Very likely every visualization system could perform the required task...
but SVG has the potential to become the lingua franca of vector graphics and
graphical user interfaces.

Ok, I'm really drinking your Kool-Aid and really want to believe every
visualization system could perform this task, but I'm not seeing it.

For instance, in Qt they can only render SVG. Can it accept javascript
wrapping SVG and handling event? The same for Flex.

If you're interested I could show you what we are doing in our startup,
maybe that would give you a better idea.

If anyone is in the silicon valley area would be able to show me how to
capture mouse events over individual elements on an SVG graph using
either flex or Qt I'd pay $50/hour.
