Attached code is an example of how to use Google transliteration
feature in certain html textboxes. I need to enable the same
transliteration feature for a flex application. Is there a way
I could do it?

  <html>
      <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi">
        </script>
        <script type="text/javascript">

          // Load the Google Transliteration API
          google.load("elements", "1", {
                packages: "transliteration"
              });

          function onLoad() {
            var options = {
              sourceLanguage: 'en',
              destinationLanguage: ['hi','kn','ml','ta','te'],
              shortcutKey: 'ctrl+g',
              transliterationEnabled: true
            };

            // Create an instance on TransliterationControl with the required
            // options.
            var control =
                new google.elements.transliteration.TransliterationControl(options);

            // Enable transliteration in the textfields with the given ids.
            var ids = [ "transl1", "transl2" ];
            control.makeTransliteratable(ids);

            // Show the transliteration control which can be used to toggle between
            // English and Hindi and also choose other destination language.
            control.showControl('translControl');
          }
          google.setOnLoadCallback(onLoad);

        </script>
      </head>
      <body>
      <center>Type in Indian languages (Press Ctrl+g to toggle between English and Hindi)</center>

    Here is the final working code :

        <mx:Script>
                <![CDATA[
                        import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
        import flash.external.*;

         public function callWrapper():void {
            var s:String;
            if (ExternalInterface.available) {
       ExternalInterface.addCallback("g", g);
               var wrapperFunction:String = "initialize";
               ExternalInterface.call(wrapperFunction,text1.text);

            } else {
               s = "Wrapper not available";
            }
            trace(s); 
         }
         public function g(str:String):void
         {
            text1.text = str;
         }

                        ]]>
        </mx:Script>
        <mx:Button x="75" y="50" label="Enter some text and click this button to see the transliteration output" click="callWrapper()" height="37"/>
    </mx:Application>
