Getting anything like this to work would probably be a serious pain. Flash
is designed to not allow things like this, as letting someone do that would
be a serious security/privacy/stability problem.
Without using ActiveX or Signed Java Applets to load and communicate with
the DLL (using Javascript to talk to Flash) I doubt you'd be able to do it.

Hi,
I am developing an application where I would like to use Flex to talk to
some dlls / exe installed on the local machine, through a browser.
The DLLs (and or) EXE will be installed using an installer.
The workflow I would like working on the client machine is the swf
(created
by Flex) getting loaded in the browser and communicating with the dlls
installed on the machine.
I guess one way would be to use External Interface and do a
Action Script <-> Java Script <-> ActiveX (for IE) / np dll (for FF)
I would like to avoid installing any new activex control for my
application.
I do not need any GUI for my application either.
Is there another way to directly communicate with the dlls and completely
avoid activex (or equivalent in FF) ?
Also, material on ExternalInterface to Win32 C++ dlls communication seems
really sparse. Can some one point me in the right direction ?
Regards,
Bharat Varma
