getting mouse?

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knew how to detect pressure on pressure sensitive mice, tablet PCs, usb tablets, joysticks, or any button that has pressure sensitivity?

Thanks.

If anyone knows the correct term for pressure events that would help also. I'm having trouble finding documentation for this no matter what language I'm searching in.

As far as I know, reading pressure sensitivity is not possible with the current version of actionscript.

Thanks. For my next question, does anyone know how to do this in any language?

I can't find anything on this and it's driving me crazy o_o
