Which would allow you to do quite a lot without and Qscript at all I 
guess, if you generically retrieved those parameters... depending on 
the nature of the required interaction you could have very little 
actual script at all on the sprite in order to receive event 
triggers...

Interesting indeed. I guess it would be most useful in cases where you 
needed to include a particular wired movie but had no access to the 
original movie source or scripting.
