I'm researching a potential project involving flash based augmented reality, and I've already looked at FlarToolkit and FlarManager which seem pretty straight forward to execute marker detection.
What I cannot find are any sites or assistance with how to detect hand position, etc. To allow the subject to 'press' buttons. An example of what I mean can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn_iPjGKd0M&feature=player_embedded where the model presses virtual buttons to take action.
Any help is appreciated - thanks,

it's not too hard to create the illusion of pressing button by moving you hand over certain areas of the screen like in the video you linked. If you actually wanted to detect gestures that's far beyond my range of experience.
You can create the effect by drawing an area of the webcam field to a bitmapdata class and then compare it to the previous frame and draw a new bitmap using a difference filter and then detect changes in pixel values. I used this method to create this game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVhFSwo1F6E
That should be enough info to google around and find some source code
