I could not find the dictionnary of Front Row but since it can be control by keyboard all my script to control Front Row look likes:
tell application "System Events"
key code 123 -- LEFT Arrow
end tell
or I can send the Key code to the Front Row process,
like this script
tell application "System Events"
tell application "Front Row" to activate
key code 53 using {command down} -- escape
end tell
The first script is not sent to Front Row because I want it to work in all application. I use voice command and PowerMate to control my Mini and sometime it is nice to have access to keyboard short cut by voice.
There is one problem I found but I am not sure about it.
Sometime, even if I see Front Row on the screen, it seems there is another application in the front, so my script is sent to the other one. I just need to tap the screen and then the script is send to Front Row.
I do not own Front Row either but if you want to try it:

I have "tried" all version of Front Row and this version is the first one I had trouble with. I lost all items (icons) on the right side of the menu bar. It is a problem with SystemUIServer which is suppose to run all the time but it was crashing and restarting. I reinstall the 10.4.5 Combo update and now everything works.
