Björnke posted a good suggestion: all this can be handled directly in  
Rev.
You can explore how Rev makes it or how Chipp's plugins handle this  
kind of thing:
All this is rev code you can explore :-)

To take the next step, i.e. download and install a new version from  
the web, the "How to Download Data from the Internet" tutorial might  
help you:
How to Download Data from the Internet
This stack explains how to test the user connection, an url validity,  
why and how to use get url or load url, retrieve data from framed  
pages, give an account of download progress, manage errors, display  
retrieved data (web pages, stacks, compressed or not), etc.

As usual, you will access this tutorial through "Tutorials Picker" a  
free plugin that interfaces with the So Smart Software website in  
order to display all available tutorials stacks directly from the web.
You will find it by going to http://www.sosmartsoftware.com/.
Revolution/Plugins or Tutorials section.

Hope this helps.

Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.
