Does flashplayer 9 ocx by itself support SSL (without browser)?

[sfichel]

We are using the Flashplayer 9 ocx, running a Flex Client Application, and interfacing to it with a FlexCpp

Bridge.  We open the flashplayer inside of the C++ Windows application.   We would like all communication from a java mid-tier server, to the flashplayer to be SSL.  Can the flashplayer ocx support SSL on its own, without using a browers? We had to eliminate the browser, to support the C++ interface.  I can't find any documentation on flashplayer SSL without a browser.

IIRC Flash requires the host application for all server communication. You migth want to investigate implementing the Netscape Plugin API in your application and hosting Flash in that:
