It's not in the book, but it's pretty simple. You just need to stick to passing
objects of the main classes (NSString, NSArray, NSNumber, NSDictionary, NSData)
and coercing them in the receiving handler. So in this case you might have an
AS "class" with a handler like this:
on selectItemsInFinder_(arrayOfPaths)
set arrayOfPaths to arrayOfPaths as list -- coerce from pseudo-pointer
to AS object
set fileList to {}
repeat with aPath in arrayOfPaths
set end of fileList to aPath as POSIX file
end repeat
tell application "Finder" to select fileList
end selectItemsInFinder_
And you can call it as either a class or instance method:
NSArray *array = *paths*
[ASClassInstance selectItemsInFinder:array];
or:
[[ASClassName alloc] init] selectItemsInFinder:array];
or:
[ASClassName selectItemsInFinder:array];
