Re: dragdrop files for a standalone.

[Sannyasin Sivakatirswami]

Why need apple events? I use something very simple:  in a transparent 
button that covers the whole background. But maybe this doesn't cover 
all scenarios in your context.

on dragEnter
  set the acceptDrop to true
end dragEnter
on dragDrop
  put  dragData["files"] into tFile
  put url ("file:" & tFile) into someVariable
end dragDrop

standalone.

on appleEvent pClass,pID
     if pClass is "aevt" then
          if pID is "odoc" then
          request appleEvent data
          openFileRoutine it
          end if
     end if
end applevent
on openfileroutine it
     put it into fpath
     open file fpath
     read from file fpath
     close file fpath
     [parse the data   given from it]
end openfileroutine
