Obviously a LUA script would be able to access some (or all?) data
within the currently open .anme file.

Can the version of LUA in AS Pro 6 receive data using any other means?

Can LUA receive data from a data file?
Can LUA get data from either DDE or a Windows message?

I've seen scripts that calls other external applications. Check the wrapper that fazek did for mplayer in linux.
I don't know if lua can interact with external applications. As far as I know lua a is interpreted and the interpreter is inside AS.
