What's really missing from flua is decent documentation and a few kick-ass examples (like yours was).  My beef with it is it's so hard to find how to do things that after a while you assume it's a crappy program, which your example proves it's not.

I don't think flua's dead, it just smells funny.

I was messing around for days using Lua5 syntax, and wondering why so many things didn't work.  Even after reading through the lua4 manual and the flua docs a lot of stuff still doesn't make sense to me (I usually have both open for reference while scripting).  The flua widget reference is extremely vague, and the example files are for the most part either incomplete or so simple that they don't provide much help.  Personally I've learned much more from reading Robert's scripts than from reading those examples.
