One way I tackled a similar problem in the past (in an app that used a
'skin' was to have one image showing (the skin, as it were) and another
hidden image that acted as a colour map (where each zone of the skinned
area was coloured a different colour).

When a user clicked on the skin, I grabbed the x,y coordinate that they
had clicked at, then checked the colour in the hidden image at the same
x,y location to work out which zone they had clicked in.

It worked really nice - but requires more work if you need parts of your
interface to animate.

Hope this provides an alternative to using a component - it's more
rewarding when you create something by yourself, without resorting to
ready built components!

All the best,
