Re: Called script won't store property

When you double-click the script, it actually runs the application, and changes are saved in the application file. When you "run script" from another script, it effectively loads the script from the file and runs it, but it doesn't run the script application.

You could always do

	tell application "Rachel:TestScriptCalled" to run

which would run the application, the same as double-clicking it; but of course, then you wouldn't get the result back in the calling script.

TestScriptCalling:

TestScriptCalled:

property someVariable : missing value
if someVariable is missing value then display dialog "first run"

set someVariable to "Script initialized"
return someVariable


Both are saved "as applications".
When I run TestScriptCalled by doubleclicking it remembers the property
value.
When I call it from TestScriptCalling it can't remember the property.

Why not and what's the trick?
