Not from Adobe. If you're creating native-code applications atop multiple operating systems, then it's usually each development environment which would contain info on how to host ActiveX Controls or Netscape Plugins.
I recall that there are different models for hosting ActiveX Controls... Macromedia and Adobe test against the hosting model used by Microsoft Internet Explorer. I'm not sure I could explain the differences between this and other ways of using ActiveX in Windows, though.
(For the Player, giving it that WMODE instruction in the markup is enough to trigger a mechanism for the browser to pass a memory location to the Player, so that the visual output can be sent to the browser's own compositing buffer rather than directly to screen. I myself don't know the different browser APIs you'd need to handle to have the Player pipe its rendering to your own compositing app.)
