I'm shuddering at the security problems involved. The Flash application will have to be permitted to run an AppleScript somehow and personally I would never permit that.

But Flash probably has a way to at least attempt to execute a compiled binary UNIX executable or even a shell script.  Once you do that there is the osascript tool which can compile and run an AppleScript that is a simple text file. Osascript will accept a file path or input from stdin.
