Simple Loader 1.0

Simple Loader is an Applescript that treats clipboard contents as a file name and opens it.

This is a combination of two concepts that solved a lingering problem of mine. It treats the contents of of the clipboard as the name of a file, then looks for that file in the same directory as itself, and opens it. Simple enough, but it eliminates many, many headaches, especially in conjunction with other authoring programs.

I use this in Flash CD presentations to load external files on a Mac. Theres a Windows equivalent of this, but its kludgy and requires one copy of itself for every file that you want to load. I also find it more elegant than Flashs getURL() function, as this doesnt require a web browser to open documents.
