In short, I don't think so, you are pretty much in a sand box as you run
an Air app. I haven't checked the state of play with 4.5, things have
maybe improved.
I think that Adobe are terrified that someone will write a virus in
Air! So they keep you away from all that system level stuff... All a
little bit nanny state to my mind, Air should have access to the system
to be a viable language IMO, no-one blames Microsoft for all the VB
malware out there!
I mentioned FlourineFX as a last week, it provides access to .NET but I
think it only works on Windows (although it is compatible with Mono).
Might be a way to do it? I'm not a .NET guy so don't know what's in
there :)

Does AIR have enough hooks to the os to create an automation app?
Programs like Automate and WinAutomation script mouse position and
clicks to control an app's gui, and Automate automatically recognizes
menus and buttons etc if the app to be controlled conforms to
something - not sure what.
I really need the power of actionscript to control a widget intensive
music gui. TIA,
