Simple Loader Description

Treats clipboard contents as a file name and opens it 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. There's a Windows equivalent of this, but it's kludgy and requires one copy of itself for every file that you want to load. I also find it more elegant than Flash's getURL() function, as this doesn't require a web browser to open documents.
