The example contains 4 nibs (2 windows, and 2 panels). Each nib has
its own script, and I would like to load a library once, at the
application level, which is why I am loading it using the "on
launched theObject" handler of MainWindow.applescript.
What I did was select the "File's Owner" for "MainWindow.nib" and
enabled the "launched" attribute in the "File Owner's Inspector"
window, which would make one think that, that is the "application
level", thus should be accessible by other objects within the
application (script).
( 1 ) I would like to access the library's vars and handlers from
each of the scripts attached to the different nibs, without reloading
the library individually for each nib.
( 2 ) Also I have not been successful in calling handlers from the
Project_Lib.scpt that access handlers contained within the individual
scripts. i.e. Need a tell statement within Project_Lib.scpt that
calls a handler in MessageWindow.applescript
MainWindow.nib
MainWindow.applescript
MessageWindow.nib
MessageWindow.applescript
AlertPanel.nib
AlertPanel.applescript
SettingsPanel.nib
SettingsPanel.applescript
Project_Lib.scpt -- common library used by all four nib scripts
MainWindow.applescript contains an "on launched theObject" handler
that loads a common library

on launched theObject
set AS_Studio_project_lib_filepath to (AS_Studio_GetPath2Dir

set proj_lib to (load script file AS_Studio_project_lib_filepath)

set (proj_lib)'s use_custom_messages to my use_custom_messages
set (proj_lib)'s show_event_debug to my show_event_debug
(proj_lib)'s AS_Studio_ShowMessage("Starting Up Alert
Panel..." & return & AS_Studio_project_lib_filepath & return)
on error
AS_Studio_ShowMessage("Starting Up Alert Panel..." & return &
AS_Studio_project_lib_filepath & return)
end try
end launched
-- +---------+---------+---------+---------+
BOTH of the scripts below generate an error that the "variable
proj_lib is undefined". For some reason I cannot access the library
loaded at the application level from any of the other nib scripts
-- +---------+---------+---------+---------+
-- AlertPanel.applescript
-- +---------+---------+---------+---------+
on opened theObject
tell application of theObject
set myStr to "LOADING AlertPanel.applescript."
(proj_lib)'s dialog_ShowNow(myStr) -- generates error
end tell
end opened
-- +---------+---------+---------+---------+
-- SettingsPanel.applescript
-- +---------+---------+---------+---------+
on opened theObject
tell application of theObject
set myStr to "LOADING SettingsPanel.applescript."
(proj_lib)'s dialog_ShowNow(myStr) -- generates error
end tell
end opened
