Hi,
1. Is it possible to call into com/ActiveX object from Flash’s code? i.e. if click on something, it calls into a com object or download a ActiveX object and get result back to flash.
2. can we set up some sort of event handler in Flash, when other application has something then Falsh’s eventhandler get called. Is it possible.
If it is do-able, where can I get some reference?
Thanks for your help!

Only thing i can tell you is; look in the “scripting” section on Flashkit, and if you find s’thing remotely like that, try to find the guy who posted it!

I don’t know either, but I remember seeing something remotely similar a while ago on some Flash forum; maybe supra might know 🙂
