newbie - scripts don't do anything

I can’t figure out how to work project builder. I’ve made a few programs with script editor but pb just confuses me. Can someone tell me basics? :rolleyes:

:?::!: Asking a question like that is like asking “Can you tell me how to build an airplane?” or “How does the universe work?”.

Xcode/project builder is a very complex development tool that cannot just be explained in a post. If you come here with “How do I make a window?” or “How do user defaults work?”, you’ll get lots of constructive answers. It sounds to me like you need to start with apple’s example projects (/Developer/Examples/Applescript Studio/) and with some online tutorials before asking for help.

Try these to start…

Once you get your feet wet a bit, you can come back and ask some more specific questions and most likely get some specific answers. There’s a lot to tell, and if you haven’t started figuring some of the “basics” out yourself, you probably haven’t put any time into it.
