A: 

Director / Shockwave can hook in to the native speech API of the OS. For Flash you can generate the speech on the server and download it as a an mp3.

Thanks for replay,Director / Shockwave has Speech Xtra which uses SAPI engine for Text-to-Speech. But I want to achieve this using ActionScript or Air runtime only..

I've posted an example on my blog of how to do this using the iSpeech API.
