[Laszlo-dev] can we use the mysterious System.Product calls in the Flash Platform?

[P T Withington]

Wow.  That seems pretty sleazy.

I don't really know much about this area, but you and David (and Max)  
must.  :)

I (or more likely, Henry) can certainly help out if you just need to  
figure out how to call these "mysterious" API's from LZX.  In general,  
we don't limit what you can call in the underlying runtime.  You may  
need to use the #passthrough pragma if our compiler is getting in the  
way.  You can either grep for examples of that in the LFC, or Henry  
can explain it more.
