Is it possible to make a Flash embedded in a browser access a DLL, by making it signed or whatnot? I know that it's possible with Java Applets.

A: 

No. By far your best bet is going to be exposing whatever methods you need in your Class Library as web methods and letting Flash call them that way.

A: 

No, But.. you can compile native code into flash with Alchemy.

Alchemy definitely looks interesting. The only downside is that it's not production ready...and it looks like it takes your C/C++ and compiles it into ActionScript 3.0 (so anything with heavy dependencies is going to fail).
Justin Niessner
it actually compiles into byte-code for the flash VM, not into AS3. yes, dependencies would be an issue, so is performace since it is no-longer running natively.

Actually it does compile into a mix of AS3 and bytecode. Then, a specialized version of the flex compiler turns the mix into a SWC.
