Ok, I'm back looking at this and the problem still exists in 10.5.1

I have some more info.

The failure only occurs when trying to get a property of the object. If I send an command to the object it works fine. In addition, I can see the following in the console with a debug build of my app:

2007-11-27 19:05:00.032 MyApp[5472:813] Command: Intrinsics.get Direct Parameter: <NSPropertySpecifier: ObjectController> Receivers: <NSPropertySpecifier: ObjectController> Arguments: { } 2007-11-27 19:05:00.055 MyApp[5472:813] Gotten Value: <ISObjectController: 0x28af10> 2007-11-27 19:05:00.071 MyApp[5472:813] Result: <NSAppleEventDescriptor: 'obj '{ 'from':'null'(), 'want':'pRdC', 'form':'ID ', 'seld':'utxt'("5482A787-CF01-46D3-875C-706488F9058E") }> 2007-11-27 19:05:00.090 MyApp[5472:813] Error converting apple event to script command: -10008 2007-11-27 19:05:00.091 MyApp[5472:813] Original event: <NSAppleEventDescriptor: 'core'\'getd'{ '----':'obj '{ 'form':'prop', 'want':'prop', 'seld':'pCNC', 'from':'obj '{ 'form':'ID ', 'want':'pRdC', 'seld':'utxt'("5482A787-CF01-46D3-875C-706488F9058E"), 'from':'null'() } }, &'csig':65536 }> 2007-11-27 19:05:00.092 MyApp[5472:813] Offending object descriptor: <NSAppleEventDescriptor: 'obj '{ 'form':'ID ', 'want':'pRdC', 'seld':'utxt'("5482A787-CF01-46D3-875C-706488F9058E"), 'from':'null'() }>

Also, in my debug build I have a [valueForUndefinedKey:] set to log a message - one never gets logged.

Can anyone tell me what's different between 10.5 and 10.4 that would cause this error?

thanks.

I have a scriptable object defined as a property of the application object. This is a Cocoa app. In 10.4.10, the following script works great:
tell application "MyApp"
set obj to object controller
tell obj
get value
end tell
end tell
However, on 10.5 that same script fails with "The specified object is a property, not an element." I am now building the app against the 10.5 SDK but with 10.4 as the target OS. This build works on 10.4 the same as it did when built against the 10.4 SDK.
Here is the script event log on 10.5:
tell application "MyApp" get object controller object controller id "5482A687-CF01-46D3-875C-706488A9058E" get value of object controller id "5482A687- CF01-46D3-875C-706488A9058E" "MyApp got an error: The specified object is a property, not an element."
As you can see, the object is accessed via the ID property.
Any ideas of what's going on and how I can fix it?
