I want to know which application is frontmost when I select a script in the script menu, so I put this into the sdef file of my application:

<direct-parameter>

</direct-parameter>

</command>

The script that I put in the script menu looks like this:

property frontmostApplication : "none"

tell application "System Events"

set frontmostApplication to item 1 of (get name of processes whose frontmost is true)

end tell

tell application "Tansa"

activate

selected scriptmenu {name:frontmostApplication, menu:5}

end tell

The result is printed out with a NSLog:

2007-11-23 07:33:32.822 Tansa[8848:10b] SelectedScriptMenu dict: {

1886282093 = Mail;

1668116085 = 5;

}

I thought the key should be the same as what I put in the script, "name" and "menu", but they came out as integers. Why?

How can I get the dict to be that?

Ivan
