Hey guys how would one go about executing a applescript from within a applescript?

#2

hi

One method is to use the run script command


set ftpScript to "disk:Users:you:Library:Scripts:Photodata User Scripts:Database scripts:FTP upload.app"
display dialog "Images processed. Do You Want to FTP now" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 1
if the button returned of the result is "Yes" then
	run script pathtoftp
end if

As you can see you can store scripts in the scripts folder in your library

Hey that works great never knew of the file prompt thingo, is there anyway to using bindings to make it save in a preference file as well

I think you mean Cocoa bindings. Whatever you’re talking about, you probably need to start a different thread.
