Hi Paul, thanks for the quick response.
The use case would be to call some CPU-intensive audio signal processing code,
most likely written in C++ and packaged as a DLL. The idea is that a SWF (or
AIR app) would try to detect the presence of the DLL on the user's machine; if
the DLL is present, the SWF (or AIR app) would use the native signal processing
functions implemented in it, otherwise it would rely on a simplified
lower-quality implementation coded in AS3.
I can't think of any way to do what you want. All the native code
workarounds I know of really aren't efficient for real-time calls and
the overhead would outweigh the benefit. Be interesting if anyone
suggests a method.

Hi folks,
Does anyone know whether there's a way to call native code from a Flash SWF or
AIR app, for example to call functions in a DLL? Something like Java's JNI but
for Flash?
I have never heard of anyone doing that and I know of no direct mechanism to do
so.
What is your use-case?
I realize it's possible to read and write local data files from a SWF (using
FileReference) or from an AIR app (using the File class), but that's reading
and writing data, not running code. I also know it's possible to run C code
compiled using Alchemy - but that's not really native code, as Alchemy-compiled
code isn't native code, but rather byte-code that runs on the ActionScript VM.
