You can talk to growl directly using sockets. I only found an example of this in PHP, but you should be able to convert that to actionscript pretty easity pretty. You'll need the sample code from here. However I'm not sure the socket api is officially supported by growl... so it may be subject to change over tiem.

You may also be able to use fscommand with "exec" to run the command line growl system. (I have a feeling that fscommand has been switched to something else in newer versions of flash though...)
