Have you looked at Merapi?
You can either use JNI with Merapi to call you dll or write similar
socket based bridge in C++

Hi everyone,
I am in dire need of being able to call a C++ app or service on Mac
from flex. I am willing to go the AIR way for this though that's not
optimal. I have spent some time trying to figure out the Netscape
plugin architecture which is supported on safari but it's sub-
optimal for me to go that route.
I already have a C++ dll that I have invoked with flex on the
Windows side using an Active/X plugin successfully. Now I need to
compile the dll into some format on Mac and then communicate back
and forth with flex.
I have seen some open source bridge projects that enclose flash
player in an MFC object but that doesn't help me on mac.
Is it as simple as doing some Netstream class from flex to connect
to either an app or a service (if there are services on Mac like
there are on Windows) and just do a localhost communication back and
forth? If so, what are the limitations of such approaches? Any
sample apps out there?

Priyanka
