You can explicitly allow swf scripting in the html wrapper.  It might
take bit to get the security side handled, but it is doable.  

 

You would actually control/communicate with the other objects by
scripting them using javascript and ExternalInterface.

Subject: [flexcoders] Accessing *other* browser plugins from Flash

 

Hi,

I have access to some powerful C++ functionality. Porting this to
ActionScript is not an 
option. However, it looks like I could create a browser plugin that
would wrap the C++ code.

I am looking for pointers, caveats or advice on how to proceed.

The obvious question is: can a .swf call out to another browser plugin
or is this prevented by 
the security sandbox of all browsers?

And the followup: if this is possible, how?

Thanks in advance!

-Eric
