set MyFile to make new file at desktop with properties
{name:DoStoryName(winningTeam) of me}
open for access file MyFile with write permission
write AGATE to file MyFile starting at eof
close access file MyFile
[...]
Is this related to a desktop reference bug?
Sorry to tell you so, Dan, but unless I'm missing something your
syntax was flawed in the first place, it's just that AppleScript is
getting more strict.
MyFile is a reference to a file, under a form which is specific to Finder.
You can coerce it into a type that other commands, such as "open for
access" (which does not belong to Finder, as Michelle told you), will
be able to use: that's with "as":
set aCorrectAlias to MyFile as alias
(you can also do: MyFile as file specification, but don't do it)
But "file MyFile" is officially not a way of making the Finder's
descriptor into a file specification. We can only be sorry that it
looked like it worked so far.
