it seems like every object has different words attributed to it. For example, you have “contents” of a text field but a “title” of a dropdown menu. Is there a library for each of these and their corresponding objects?

If you go under the File menu and Open Dictionary it will bring up the standard dialog. Select XCode and it will open in the editor window. Between this and the Apple Dev site you should find most of the info you need. Any other questions can usually be found out here (especially by Bruce and Jobu).
Have Fun,

Another good source for info is the AppleScript Studio Terminology Reference Guide. You can access it easily within Xcode by going to the Help Menu → Documentation. When the help window comes up, look at the left-hand frame, at the top. Click on the ApplesScript disclosure triangle and then Select Tools. Once there, you should see a list of documents. The Reference Guide is about half way down. Choose the HTML version and you can view it directly.
I bookmarked it for easy access. I practically live in there. :lol:
Hope this helps,

If you’re working with an AS Studio project, you can also open the “AppleScriptKit.sdef” file (the dictionary you’re application will use). However, this is just a reference.
If you would like something more verbose, you should look at the AppleScript Studio Terminology Reference Guide. There are a few ways to do this: You could use Xcode’s Help Menu, as Brad stated. You could also open the local copy of the documentation in your favorite browser. Finally, you can view Apple’s copy over at http://developer.apple.com.
