When a buttons is not a button!

I was recently working on a minor flash teaser trailer for some e-learning.
While playing with the flash I didn’t have sound on my machine so assumed the buttons at the bottom of the trailer were sound controls. As it wasn’t clear what they were for, I asked the supplier what they did and advised that a label along the lines of ’sound controls:’ would be required.
I received the immortal reply:
‘Not all the buttons are functional, some are purely graphical’
It beggars belief – this trailer was actually provided by a design agency!
