Communication between c++ and actionscript 3

Question

Is it possible to use any IPC mechanism for calling a c++ api from Adobe Flash actionscript? Are there any good examples?

Update: I primarily want it for desktop ap

Answer 1

It is not possible from the browser-player. From an AIR application, you can use Socket API to do IPC.
