I think either Apollo or Zinc is what I need. I just think it's strange that I can call Javascript from AS3 in a local-trusted sandbox, but I can't call a Javascript function that calls ActiveX (or, I presume, any other local fs command) from AS3. This isn't clearly noted in the docs, but the absence of anyone else getting this to work seems to imply that this is true.
