Thanks John,

I'm getting very, very close now. It compiles properly now with the
amendments made but I get a "NS InternalScriptError (8)" with the
message:
" -[NSCFString frame]: selector not recognized" in the log window.

Here's the snippet of AS code I'm using:

on clicked theObject
tell window "w_main"
if name of theObject is "size" then
my resize()
end if
end tell
end clicked

on resize()
call method "resizeWindow:toHeight:toWidth:" of class "CocoaUtilities"
with parameters {"w_main", 400, 400}
end resize

Right, sorry - the .h file should contain:
#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>

That should bring in all the classes you need to define the objects and
functions that are causing you trouble.

Your reference to a window in AppleScript can be handed straight to
this
method as the argument - Studio automagically handles the transition
gracefully (for windows, at least).

As an aside, by the way you wrote it, the .h file seems to be importing
itself - I'm assuming that's inaccurate, but you should get rid of
that if
it isn't.

Thanks for your input, much appreciated, but a bit more help would be
needed for me to get it working.
I'm getting closer (I think) but obviously missing something.

So far I've created a Cocoa class and added the 2 files (.h and .m) in
the 'Resources' folder of my application.

File called 'CocoaUtilities.h' as the following:

#import <CocoaUtilities.h>

@interface CocoaUtilities : NSObject {

}

+ (void)resizeWindow :(NSWindow *)window toHeight :(int)height
toWidth:(int)width;

@end

Then I've got 'CocoaUtilities.m' which has the following:

#import "CocoaUtilities.h"

@implementation CocoaUtilities

+ (void)resizeWindow :(NSWindow *)window toHeight :(int)height toWidth
:(int)width

{
NSRect windowFrame,newWindowFrame;
windowFrame = [NSWindow contentRectForFrameRect:[window frame]
styleMask:[window styleMask]];
newWindowFrame = [NSWindow
frameRectForContentRect:NSMakeRect(NSMinX(windowFrame),NSMaxY(windowF r
am
e) - height,width,height) styleMask:[window styleMask]];

[window setFrame:newWindowFrame display:YES animate:YES];
}

@end
