A-ha! I think I understand. But that raises another point. My current app uses a folder named "resources" that sits at the same level as the finished application. I have some images and sounds in that folder referenced with pathnames. In my current app, for example, I have an image object with a filename of "resources/horse.jpg". Using the example you give (below), how would I set the filename during the development process when the app (and the path) doesn't exist yet? I can certainly re-code the Transcript where I set the pathnames but I guess I'm asking if there is one consistent methodology that would permit me to test everything without glomming everything together with a Distribution and tossing everything into the Resources folder inside the package.


Seems like there must be a "get" or "set" the defaultFolder to... command that would be necessary (and is probably obvious once it's pointed out to you). *grin*

You can set "the defaultFolder"


if the environment = "development" then
        set the defaultFolder to "some/path"
else -- deployed
        set the defaultFolder to "some/other/path"
end if
