Switch to a Java applet. You won't be able to make an ActiveX control work on anything other than Windows.

ActiveX is a Microsoft Windows technology. Even if there were a Safari plugin for it, you would be using APIs which don't exist on the Mac OS, virtually guaranteeing that problems would occur (if it would even run at all). If you want to have a cross-platform browser plugin, use Java applets or another similar technology.
