Re: [flexcoders] Making system calls from flash

You might be able to call a function in an ActiveX control\Java Applet\etc through a javascript bridge in the wrapper web page and these controls may have a different security model that will give you access to the system, but you can't do it directly from flex. - Daniel Freiman nondocs?

[flexcoders] Making system calls from flash

I know that a Flex application once it runs in the flash player, is bound to a security sandbox. This means restricted access to local resources. But suppose I wanted to call systemfunctions (e.g. manipulating a display device) from flash: can it be done? how?
