I may have the question wrong... here are some of the things I think you
might be seeking to answer:
-- "How can a SWF in a browser call a particular ActiveX Control?"
As Gordon said, it's Internet Explorer for Windows which can use
ActiveX Controls, and you can have the Adobe Flash Player ask the
hosting browser to pass a message to another ActiveX Control that
browser has available via the "externalInterface" API. Your other
ActiveX Control would need to be able to talk to the browser too, and we
can't tell whether your auto-dialer does. But such a path is very possible.
-- "If I make an out-of-browser SWF executable (via Flash Projector or
a third-party shell) then how can I ask an ActiveX Control on the system
to do something?"
This depends on the shell you use, but many have the capability to
ask the system something.
-- "How might interactions in my in-browser Flex app trigger a phone call?"
Another approach entirely is to handle the calling through your
intranet server and remote calls rather than through each local desktop
and local calls... seems like it would reduce support costs too,
assuming your telephone system is already equipped with dialing
capabilities.
Are any of these close to what you were seeking...?
