Is this 3rd party JS file a workaround /wrapper for ActiveX control?

I can’t get any answers from the tech support staff at this 3rd party so I am just guessing here.

if (TFSMFlash_IMAGEALTERNATE){
 var MM_contentVersion = TFSMFlash_VERSION;
 var plugin = (navigator.mimeTypes && navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"]) ? navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"].enabledPlugin : 0;
 if ( plugin ) {
  var words = navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"].description.split(" ");
      for (var i = 0; i < words.length; ++i)
      {
   if (isNaN(parseInt(words*)))
   continue;
   var MM_PluginVersion = words*; 
      }
  var MM_FlashCanPlay = MM_PluginVersion >= MM_contentVersion;
 }
 else if (navigator.userAgent && navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE")>=0 && (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Win") != -1)) {
  document.write('<SCR' + 'IPT LANGUAGE=VBScript\> 
');
  document.write('on error resume next 
');
  document.write('MM_FlashCanPlay = ( IsObject(CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash." & MM_contentVersion)))
');
  document.write('</SCR' + 'IPT\> 
');
 }
}
if ( MM_FlashCanPlay || ! TFSMFlash_IMAGEALTERNATE ){
document.write('<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="'+TFSMFlash_OASPROTOCOL+'download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version='+TFSMFlash_VERSION+',0,0,0" ID="'+TFSMFlash_OASADID+'" '+TFSMFlash_OASDIM+' ALIGN="">');
