launching built app from Filemaker

Scripting Forums AppleScript Studio & Xcode

#1

Hiya guys - here is a tough one (I think)

I have completed my application, built it and am now trying to activate it via an applescript command in a filemaker script. My problem is that the app (or FMP, not sure which) goes into a loop - when I cancel out (command-period) an error message appears saying “user cancelled out of wait loop before receiving receipt”

I used a very simple script to start the app:

tell application “Floater”
activate
end tell

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Paul

does your application complete launching? try using logging in your app to see if it finishes launching. Also, what about if your app is already running when you run the file maker script… does it activate?
