With Flapplescript, I was easily able to create a panel to control iTunes from within the Flash IDE. I’ve included the source for examples sake. Implementing this couldn’t have been easier!
With FlappleScript terminal, I was able to save HOURS of development with integrating FlappleScript into FLASC. Being able to test strings and escape characters in the IDE was in valuable - John Grden
With FLASC, you can leverage the power of the MTASC compiler from within the Flash IDE. Now, with FlappleScript, the Mac has leveled the playing field with regard to the Flash IDE. FLASC can now compile your SWF with MTASC rather than just simpling writing the shell script and having you do it manually.
