[Qt-interest] Qt vs Adobe Flash etc

[Benjamin Meyer]

In the Qt git code checkout tests/auto/qlocalsocket/lackey/main.cpp  
and then in the scripts folder it the scripts can create the c++  
object QScriptLocalServer and QScriptLocalClient whenever they want.   
This was back when it was hard, in 4.5 there was new api added to make  
it easy, see the qtscript docs.
