Tom,
copy the result to file_reference
should be:
copy shell_result to file_reference
It is really confusing that you use .pict as the file extension.
Assuming that you are writing a valid PNG file to disk, you can also
return this to Revolution instead of the file name:
return shell_result -- applescript
-- revolution:
set rslt to the result
if not (rslt contains "error") then
set the text of img "Your Image" to rslt
end if
If all this doesn't work, you might try to write the data to a file
anyway and set the filename of a player to the path to that file,
because it looks like QT knows how to handle the data.
Best regards,
Mark Schonewille

I really need some help on this one!!!
So far I can get the artwork and read the result in AS, then again
in applescript I can write the hex to a file where it is now binary
and read that file in RR. It works but this is a sloppy solution as
it is Mac only for one and Applescript is doing all the work where I
would like RR to handle the encoding etc. Then I can make this a
cross platform solution.
Here is my applescript:
try
tell application "iTunes"
set my_Artwork to the (data of artwork 1 of track "One" of
playlist "U2") as picture
end tell
-- This sets the path to the pictures folder of iTunes
set file_path to (path to "pdoc" as string)
set file_name to (the file_path & "MyArtwork" & ".pict") as string
do shell script "cd " & (POSIX path of file_path) & " ;ls | grep
\"" & "MyArtwork" & ".pict\" ; " & "echo '.'"
set shell_result to the result as string
open for access file_name write permission 1
copy the result to file_reference
-- Here is where I can write to the file as a picture, this
turns the data into binary
write myTrack starting at 0 to file_reference as picture
close access file_reference
-- here I return the file_name for Revolution to then set the
filename of image "Artwork" to the returned result
return file_name
end try
The problem with this is that I have to write to the users pictures
folder for one and that each time I access the script I am writing
over the previous file. I would like to just encode this and not
write to a file at all if possible.
What i would really like to do is either have RR open a file and
write to it the my_Artwork as a picture (thereby setting it to
binary) or better yet just have RR write to a custom Prop and encode
that as binary and set an image to that when done.
The new applescript would then look like this:
try
tell application "iTunes"
set my_artwork to the (data of artwork 1 of track "One" of
playlist "U2) as picture
return my_artwork
end tell
end try
I have done this and tried to encode the result in RR with no
success. I have tried every version of binaryEncode with no results
and a lot of force quits.
Does anyone here have some ideas on where to go from here?????
Thanks
Tom McGrath

Mark et. al.
Also if I use Applescript to write the Data to a pict file I
actually get this:
which looks like binary data and states it IS a png file after all.
But I can't import this file to RR and have a picture come out. How
do you recommend converting this from binary to an image?
Ideas???
Thanks
Tom McGrath
