Andrew, can you provide more info about what you are trying to do here. If you are using Rev to create AppleScript apps, then stop. I always tell people that it is pointless trying to write AppleScript in Rev, but to write it in the AS editor and when you are sure it works, then transfer it to Rev. When you say your script works once and then fails, are you trying to save the same script each time? If not, maybe there is an error in the second script that is preventing compilation. Like I said before, I don't understand what you are trying to do, so it is very hard to provide any useful advice.

My error msg: Execution Error The file name changes each time its run for its created via Rev script. So no file is made till the end. And I have to go through AS editor because am creating AS files on the fly for later use. It appears Rev is somehow not letting go of its connection to the AS Editor. I am trying not to have to type stuff out a lot due to my disabilities thats why am creating this. Please, someone...help.

Re: Do ... as Applescript, bugs??
Andrew, What is the error that you get and from where? Is it a "file exists" error? Perhaps that is why it works the first time and not the second in Rev; The applescript editor probably traps for that. perhaps you could try "file exists" in rev to check first.

Do ... as Applescript, bugs??
I give up. It appears do AS is somehow picky/buggy or what...here is my simple code: copy to clipboard this: --testing code I have the AS code below in a field: tell application "AppleScript Editor" activate set fpath to "/Users/ScholarMeit/Desktop/As tests/moving window" make new document with data the clipboard compile document 1 save document 1 in POSIX file fpath as "script" close window 1 end tell With this script for the field: on enterinfield do (text of me) as Applescript put the result end enterinfield I tried both the latest beta and latest shipping version, both hang. I am using 10.6.3. iMac 21.5. It will work once and then on next time its called Rev hangs a long time then report an error. AS code works without error in Script editor. It was supposed to help me work faster...any clues? Thanks.

In revTalk, you can just use: do AS_stmts as Applescript and it doesn't need to be pre-compiled. You can save it as text if you want and then pull it into your app or stack and "do" it. Running it through the Script Editor first seems an unnecessary step.

Re: Do ... as Applescript, bugs??
One 'bug' that was present for me in Rev 2.7.2 and Rev 2.9.0 was in the IDE I found that after the first AScript sent to a Rev stack 'on appleevent', that subsequent calls to Rev were silent. The answer was to switch from Browse tool to Pointer, then back again. This was not the case for making calls to other programs like Excel, Photoshop, Word, etc. On Apr 11, 2010, at 9:22 AM, Andrew Meit wrote: I am struggling to figure out why do as Applescript works once correctly but second time its fired off, Rev hangs and returns "execution error".

Also, are you scripting the Script Editor itself? Otherwise there should be no need to talk to it.

Re: Do ... as Applescript, bugs??
Andrew, I don't understand how Rev can hang and still return something. What do you mean exactly? It is probably wrong to talk directly to the AppleScript editor. I can't think of any reason why one would want that. What are you trying to do? Please, post your script. I'd be happy to try to help you on-list. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer Share the clipboard of your computer with other computers on a local network with Clipboard Link http://clipbaordlink.economy-x-talk.com Op 11 apr 2010, om 18:22 heeft Andrew Meit het volgende geschreven: I am struggling to figure out why do as Applescript works once correctly but second time its fired off, Rev hangs and returns "execution error".
