Triggering AppleScript Studio apps with AppleScript

Hi,
following on with my Freeway Action work, I’m using AppleScript to open AppleScript Studio created apps. The problem is that with each Freeway session, I am asked for the location of the application. It seems that only the apps I have created are affected, so I am doing somehting wrong.

I also get the same problem when I run this script in ScriptEditor:

tell application “Blog Input Panel”
activate
end tell

What do I need to to in Applecsript Studio to stop this “Where is Application” dialog window popping up? There is only one copy of this app on my system.

So far, I have (in Basic Information under Targets) the Application Name, Identifiers (based on the ComAppleAppname convention - though I have also tried com.apple.appname format as well - but with my own information). I have a signature that I believe is unique (checked against registered sigs on Apple’s site and it isn’t registered) and a version number.

What should I be doing to get this to trigger as intended?

You could try something as:

tell application "Finder" to open application file id "com.domain.id"

delay 1

tell application "Blog Input Panel"
	windows
end tell

Or:

tell application "Finder" to set AppName to name of application file id "com.domain.id"

using terms from application "Blog Input Panel"
	tell application AppName
		--> blah
	end tell
end using terms from

Hi,
thanks for your help - whilst your examples did not work (I was getting an error -10814), I found that simply wrapping my tell with tell application “Finder” did the job.
