Flash, no. Flash is a plug-in turned authoring environment.

Director, yes. Director allows selection of an ActiveX control from the 
file system, and presents a properties panel to perform settings, etc. 
read from the control itself. Control specific parameters can be 
entered, changed, and viewed. After that, it is primarily through 
script. RealBasic handles ActiveX almost identically to Director's 
approach.
