Applescript Studio Newbie requires help please...

Scripting Forums AppleScript Studio & Xcode

Hi there,

I finally decided to take the plunge with Applescript Studio however I’ve come a little unstuck with what I thought would be a nice and easy start. I’ve worked my way through this article:-

http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.21/21.04/IntroToAppleScriptStudio/

However, when I ‘build and run’ I get the error ‘NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4 (1)’.

Please can someone tell me why this might be.

Thanks in advance,

Nick

This is the most basic of applescript studio object errors, and you will likely see it a lot as you begin working with ASStudio. You have referenced an object incorrectly somewhere in your code, either by mistyping the reference in a line of code somewhere, or you have not correctly named the object in IB. An object’s applescript name is found only at the top of the applescript pane in IB, and is different than the title of the object. Remember that some objects (such as table/outline views, window/content views, menu/menu items) can be tricky at first to properly select when working with them in IB.

Hi Jobu,

Thanks for your reply, it was spot on.
I’ve now sorted the problem and everything works fine.

Thanks again for your help.
