I am working on a script for Xpress 7.5 (MacOS 10.4.11, PowerPC) and it works as it should, but I get different results when I compile the script to an application.
A simple script example like this:
tell application “QuarkXpress Passport”
tell document 1
tell spread 1
tell generic box 1
set ar0 to content as string
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
display dialog ar0
will return a string like “none content” (what has to be expected) as long as I run the script in script editor.
But when I compile it to an application, the variable ar0 will have a value something as <<constant…NONT>>,
which will be displayed in the dialog window as well.
In deed every parameter I tried to get, has this different behaviour as a compiled application.
Any suggestions ? For a work around, maybe ?
P.S.: Please excuse I didn’t include the script using the “Applescript”-Button above … I am writing this from an internet cafe and they have only PCs …
