Re: Send variables back to Rev from Applescript

[Marian Petrides]

When I implement Thierry's suggest exactly as written in a button 
script everything works fine.

on mouseup
  do "get (system attribute " &quote& "ram " &quote& ") / 1048 div 
1000" as appleScript
  put the result into theRAM
  put theRAM into fld 1

 --now see if I can manipulate the variable which was passed
  put theRAM/2 into halfRAM
  put halfRAM into line 2 of field 1
end mouseup
However, if I paste the very same command into field 2 and change the 
button script to read

on mouseup
  do fld 2 as appleScript
  put the result into theRAM
  put theRAM into fld 1
end mouseup
I now get a compiler error.  And this isn't simply a copy/paste error 
since I get the same error if I manually type:
            get (system attribute " &quote& "ram " &quote& ") / 1048 
div 1000
into field 2

Any one have thoughts as to why this should be happening?
Thanks.
Marian

I haven't too much experience with Applescript in Rev, but I can help 
in a simple script.
I use the following script to get the physical ram of the computer and 
I get the returned value into "the result" variable.

    do "get (system attribute " &quote& "ram " &quote& ") / 1048 div 
1000" as appleScript
    put the result into theRAM
