[osflash] ANN: FlappleScript

[John Grden]

Just a quick note and HUGE thanks to Edwin for doing this!! This is
something we've been after for a LONG time with Edwin ;)  Edwin is a mad
genius and figured it all out.  Check out his blog entry for the details on
HOW creating Mac extensions is done.

also, someone asked off list about executing shell scripts:  Yes, if you
download the iTunes.zip, George has included all source files for examples.
He's actually calling shell scripts to run iTunes from what I remember him
telling me.

Also, you can look at Flasc's Compiler.as for a sample of how I built the
AppleScript command in Flasc and pass it as a string to FlappleScript.  It
might not be the most elegant way to do it, but it works ;)
