I think the misunderstanding was that Aaron ison a (secret) device that supports activex but neither javascript nor flash.

I think the best option would be to write a flash app that connects to a webcam. Staff then place the barcode in front of the webcam and a picture is taken and you could then write an algorithm to read the barcode. This would allow you detect when the barcode was entered, as you would obviously need to take a picture. I've been digging around for some algorithms for this, it would appear this guy has done something: http://gurulib.wordpress.com/2007/12/28/a-flash-based-webcam-barcode-reader/ It will also be more efficient than those old barcode scanners because a good webcam these days can do about 50fps.
