I solved the issue. It turns out that my AppleEvent handler was intercepting
and foiling my AppleScript calls to change the system volume. I just put a
"pass AppleEvent" at the end of the handler and the problem was solved --
Bob's your uncle.

Hi Sarah,
Thanks for your reply. I've dug a little deeper into the issue and am even
more confused. When I create a brand new stack, the AppleScripts to adjust
the volume work fine.
However, in the stack where I actually want the volume setting, ALL
AppleScripts tend to work except for volume setting ones. Its really weird.
I even tried executing the volume setting AS in the first line of the
preOpenStack handler in the main stack and still got a compiler error.
Does anyone know what types of conditions could exist to generate a
compiler error in one stack and not in another with the same one-line AS?
Thanks,
Mike

I'm trying to manipulate the alert volume on my Mac via an AppleScript in
Revolution. I try this:
set volume alert volume 0
and this command works perfectly fine in AppleScript's Script Editor.
However, when I try it in Revolution in the msg box:
do "set volume alert volume 0" as AppleScript
I get a compiler error! What's up with that?
It works fine here Mike. Is there some strange character that might
have crept in? Are you trying to do another AppleScript at the same
time?
You might like to test it in a button, perhaps making it two lines:
on mouseUp
put "set volume alert volume 0" into tAS
do tAS as AppleScript
end mouseUp
Cheers,
Sarah
P.S. I notice that the System Preference display does not update live.
You have to go to a different pane and then back to Sound to get it to
show the new setting.
