Not directly, because these (usually) live on different machines.

(You can create MXML files on your development machine... Macromedia 
Flex changes these XML files to SWF on your server... "JavaScript" 
usually describes something which lives on the different machines of all 
your site's visitors.)

For "How can a SWF communicate with the browser hosting it?" then there 
is the way browser-makers document, which is addressed inside the 
Macromedia Flash Player through its "FSCommand" work. This is tricky, 
though, because not all browsers offer such a communication mechanism, 
and those that do require different browser-scripting to make it work. 
It's a lot of testing.

There's also a way the browsermakers tend *not* to document (or test, I 
suspect), and that's one-way messages from plugin to browser via 
"javascript:" pseudo-URLs. You can see the spotty browser support for 
this in this older survey:
http://www.macromedia.com/go/14159

For "How can I offer a file-upload UI for a SWF inside a browser?" then 
the most reliable method I've seen is to just put an HTML FORM in the 
page to make such a button visible. It will be outside the SWF, but it 
will work.
