Hi cirno,

you’ve just posted the answer

name of current application

:slight_smile:

#3

If i save this code as app and run it, it fails:

tell application name of current application to display dialog "test"

or

set app_name to name of current application
tell application app_name to display dialog "test"
#4

Of course it fails, because it wasn’t your question :wink:

To tell the current application something, use this

tell current application to display dialog "test"
#5

I still got problem. If i save this as app and run it by double clicking it, the quickly activate Safari, then after few seconds, this test app starts to bounce in dock and this dialog is in test app not in Safari???

delay 5
tell current application to display dialog "test"
#6

Finally I know, what you want.
