Embedding and executing AppleScripts within your application bundle allows you to quickly add functionality to your application without changing any code which otherwise becomes very complicated. AppleScriptRunner contains a folder within its application bundle, "AppleScripts" which contains a number of customizable AppleScripts. The selected AppleScript is executed while passing it a Text parameter. How do you send email from your application? AppleScriptRunner allows you to send email by running the enclosed "Mail" AppleScript. How do you add Text-To-Speech? Just call the enclosed "Speak" AppleScript. By packaging up functionality into AppleScripts called by an application it could allow users to create their own customizable alerts/events, extend the behavior of the main application, package functionality into components, and more.
