Revlet alternatives for launch, shell, externals, applescript, etc.

[Richard Miller]

I need to run Trevor's enhanced quicktime external in a revlet. At this 
time, however, externals can't be run in a revlet. Not sure when that 
will change... by the official release in September perhaps?

As an alternative, it would work fine if I could have the revlet launch 
a separate Rev application that uses the external. But the "launch, 
shell and applescript" commands are disabled in the alpha version as 
well. I know there is an Internet Explorer "loophole" to start up an 
application through javascript, but this won't work in Safari or Firefox.

Does anyone know when revweb will be able to take advantage of an external?

Anyone have any creative ideas how I might (at this time) launch a Rev 
app from a revlet or an html page across IE, Firefox and Safari (or more 
precisely, incorporate an external into a revlet)?

I suppose I could just ask the user to start up a separate application 
when my revlet starts running, but this is not a very elegant solution.

Thanks.
