It's possible if your enterprise uses Windows Single Sign On ( I know because I've done it :) ) - you would need access to that data and then, for example, a .NET script to pass that information via Flashvars or ExternalInterface or whatever to Flash. But it's not possible using Flash alone, and I doubt it's possible, (due to basic security restrictions in both the OS, the browser, and the Flash player) on the generic world wide web user base without some kind of third party app install on the user machine first.
So in short, it seems to me: within a controlled enterprise setup, yes, but not via Flash alone... within the generic world wide web, no (unless with some third party install by the user). I could be wrong though, but that's my understanding.
