provide access, in addition to viewing of the other content underneath the video-based graphic, to the other content behind the video-based graphic and displayed with the display device in response to determining that the opacity designation of the pixel of the video-based graphic corresponds to the positive interaction or the negative interaction with the video-based graphic.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to determine that the opacity designation of the pixel of the video-based graphic corresponds to the positive interaction or the negative interaction with the video-based graphic by determining whether the opacity designation of the pixel indicates that the pixel is more opaque than an opacity threshold.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to provide access to the other content displayed with the display device by enabling at least one of viewing, scrolling, or interacting with the other content, and opening or closing the video-based graphic.

11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to at least:

display, via the display device, additional information related to the video-based graphic in response to determining that the opacity designation of the pixel of the video-based graphic corresponds to one the positive interaction or the negative interaction with the video-based graphic.

12. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to at least identify a distinction between transparent and opaque pixels in the video-based graphic as a pointer aware class to monitor the pointer interaction with the video-based graphic.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to at least use the pointer aware class to determine a position of the pointer interaction via coordinates comparison at an opaque portion of the video-based graphic.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the coordinates comparison determines a position of the pointer interaction in relation to the video-based graphic to determine the opacity designation of the video-based graphic at the position of the pointer interaction.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including computer executable instructions, wherein the instructions when executed by a processor, configures the computer to monitor a video-based graphic by performing steps, comprising:

displaying, with a display device, a video-based graphic, wherein the video-based graphic is displayed within an area on the display device, and wherein the video-based graphic, in being displayed within the area on the display device, includes at least a transparent portion that is at least partially transparent such that content displayed behind the transparent portion of the video-based graphic is at least partially visible, and an opaque portion that is opaque such that content displayed behind the opaque portion of the video-based graphic is not visible;
