Daryl, v8 allows to embed so named host objects into JS. For example, Chromium allows to access DOM objects implemented in C++ from JS. Therefore, you can expose access to anything you can access from C/C++, including ActiveX components. That being said, the effort might be not trivial and VBScript might fit your needs ways better.
