activex in actionscript

Is it possible to run an activex control in a MXML file using actionscript? Here's an equivalent of what I would like to do in Javascript 

function getUserName(){
var s = new ActiveXObject("wscript.network");
return s.username;
}

-- Just a simple "hello world" example would be great. I can take it from there.

Solution

  • You can do it in javascript and then use ExternalInterface to communicate between your flash/flex app and your javascript functions.
