I think you would have to have an external program that interfaces with the
scanner, and then talk to it from Flash using ExternalInterface. One
theoretical possibility would be to use a Shockwave movie (which you make
using Macromedia/Adobe Director) as a stub that talks to the scanner for
you. With Director/Shockwave there are a lot of Xtras that extend the
capabilities of the Shockwave Player: Go to
www.updatestage.com/products_table.html and look for the TWAIN Xtra.
So (in THEORY), you would make a Shockwave stub movie with the TWAIN Xtra,
set up some useful methods in it, and then use ExternalInterface from Flash
to talk to the stub.
Roundabout? Yes. Better than nothing? Maybe.
Of course, you could always get your users to scan their documents with
their webcam. (joking)

Subject: [Flashcoders] Question about FLEX2 - AS3 interactiing with
LaserScanners ...
I dont know if this make sense, I need to develop an application that
captures data read by a Laser Scanner, however before getting into the
process (trying to avoid Delphi) I was wondering if this kind of
functionality could be accomplish with AS3 and FLEX2 ?
Thanks in advanced
