I think you would have to have an external program that interfaces with the scanner, and then talk to it from Flash using ExternalInterface. One theoretical possibility would be to use a Shockwave movie (which you make using Macromedia/Adobe Director) as a stub that talks to the scanner for you. With Director/Shockwave there are a lot of Xtras that extend the capabilities of the Shockwave Player: Go to www.updatestage.com/products_table.html and look for the TWAIN Xtra.
So (in THEORY), you would make a Shockwave stub movie with the TWAIN Xtra, set up some useful methods in it, and then use ExternalInterface from Flash to talk to the stub. Roundabout? Yes. Better than nothing? Maybe. Of course, you could always get your users to scan their documents with their webcam.

I dont know if this make sense, I need to develop an application that captures data read by a Laser Scanner, however before getting into the process (trying to avoid Delphi) I was wondering if this kind of functionality could be accomplish with AS3 and FLEX2 ?
