I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, but I think maybe that you
want both Drag & Drop and Select & Launch interfaces. The code isn't
too complicated, so I'll just post it anyway and if it isn't on
target, no problem.
on run
my getFinderSelection() -- a list of aliases
tell me to open the result
end run ---------------------------------------------
on open dropList
-- your Drag & Drop code goes here
end open -------------------------------------------
on getFinderSelection()
tell application "Finder"
try
set selList to selection
on error
return {}
end try
--
set listCount to (count items of selList)
if listCount = 0 then return {}
repeat with i from 1 to listCount
(item i of selList) as alias
if (class of item the result) = alias file then
set item i of selList to (original item of the result) as alias
else
set item i of selList to the result
end if
end repeat
return selList
end tell
end getFinderSelection ---------------------------------------

Hi all,
A few months back (if memory serves me correctly) someone was
asking about
using AppleScript to drop a file onto a droplet. I'm now in need of
such
code.
I have a PDF "Pre-Flight" droplet that I created from Acrobat 7 and
I need
to have AppleScript drop a PDF (that the script just helped build)
onto
this droplet. The results will be that the PDF is scanned and a log
report is produced. This is then read by AppleScript to look for
errors.
I was hoping to launch the droplet then tell it to open a file but
when
the droplet is launched without a PDF being dropped on it, it
immediately
quits.
