OK, looks like a bug in LiveCode's API to the Script Editor compiler:
I suspected LiveCode can't even compile the script.
duh, right... add "put the result" watch...
[field "PhotoshopScript"]
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS5"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
"Adobe Photoshop CS5"
do action "merge leaves" from "Merge Leaves"
end tell
end tell
Button "merge Leaves"
on mouseUp
put fld "PhotoshopScript" into tScript
do tScript as AppleScript
put the result
end mouseUp
"compiler error"
I better put this in QA right away, since we are close to next release.
it should not be that complicated:
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS5"
activate
do action "merge leaves" from "Merge Leaves"
end tell
should work but also returns "compiler error"
The same script compiles without problem and runs in Script Editor.app

What happens if you use system events to activate Photoshop first and then
tell Photoshop to do its action?
tell application "System events" to tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS5"

Terry...
That does not help. I tried it both ways:
tell application "System Events"
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS5"
activate
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS5"
do action "merge leaves" from "Merge Leaves"
end tell
end tell
end tell
does not work
and also (I use this form for calling menu items from other apps)
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS5"
activate
tell application "System Events"
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS5"
do action "merge leaves" from "Merge Leaves"
end tell
end tell
end tell
what is odd is that this script works fine to drive thru 4D
tell application "4D"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "4D"
tell menu bar 1
tell menu bar item "Selections"
tell menu "Selections"
click menu item "Search Clipboard for EMBS"
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
no compile error
LiveCode cannot compile the script for Photoshop?
