I must immediately retract the above statement! (how embarrassing!)
Apparently I had intentionally rolled my script back to a version that would
result in the error (perhaps I just wanted to make sure the error number was
correct before posting a message), and forgotten about it. The following
construct, first included in my posting of 2:48 pm CST today, results in no
error.
property delaytime : missing value
property delayer : false
on idle
if delayer
tell application "Finder" to delay delaytime
set delayer to false
else
do idle stuff
end if
end idle
on process_something()
do_it
run_delay(2)
end process_something
on run_delay(the_delay)
set delaytime to the_delay
set delayer to true
end run_delay
Apologies, and thanks.
