help needed, how to get a result from a different script?

Hi

I have an application that I’m writing in AppleScript Studio, it works quite nicely. However I am cleaning it up and want to put some processing stuff in a different script, it all worked until I tried to get a result back from the script.

Is it possible for a method in a different script to return a result?

Also, am I right to delete ProcessImagesLib to free up memory?


on create()
	set ProcessImagesLib to my loadScript("Process Images")
	set ProcessImages to ProcessImages of ProcessImagesLib
	
	tell ProcessImages to process(sourceFolder, item 2 of outPutFolders, fileList)

	-- this does not work
	-- set photoInfo to result of tell ProcessImages to process(sourceFolder, item 2 of outPutFolders, fileList)

	delete ProcessImagesLib -- free up memory?	

	(*
	more stuff down here that should use 'photoInfo'
	*)
end create


on loadScript(scriptName)
	return load script file (my pathToScripts() & scriptName & ".scpt")
end loadScript

on pathToScripts()
	set appPath to (path to me from user domain) as text
	return (appPath & "Contents:Resources:Scripts:") as text
end pathToScripts

thanks for any help
