Is it possible to quit the script but have the dialog box remain visible?
Just something like
display dialog "hey man"
return
except with the return BEFORE the user touches anything. I just want it to display the dialog and stop as soon as it puts it up there.
Lol thanks. Is there anything else that would accomplish the same thing in a similar way? Perhaps telling TextEdit to display something?
AppleScript is single threaded, it is not possible within a single script.
You could create a second script (as application) and run the dialog box from there
Ok thanks. I just didn’t want my computer running a script for hours at a time when i leave a script on overnight. But I’ll use my TextEdit idea.
tell application "TextEdit"
activate
make new document
set text of document 1 to "Error:
We're sorry, something has prevented this script from moving on. Please close all unnecessary windows and continue on with all undownloaded songs."
end tell
return
