Re: creating a dictionary for an applescript app?

i'm trying to access a function in an applescript.app i've written...in applescript it's:

   tell application "playRec"
	initRecList(false)

   end tell

but i want to do it in py-appscript (so i can use cheetah) but ASTranslate errors: Untranslated event 'ascrpsbr'

Appscript doesn't provide an API for calling user-defined subroutines. You need to drop into aem and use raw AE codes to do that.



i've set NSAppleScriptEnabled in my app's info.plist, and created an sdef as suggested in http://lists.apple.com/archives/applescript- implementors/2004/Feb/msg00028.html
but i've not found any docs showing how to link the sdef to my applescript...

The simplest thing would probably be to call your applet's user- defined subroutines via aem:


#!/usr/local/bin/python

from aem import *

playRec = Application(findapp.byname('playRec'))

playRec.event('ascrpsbr', {'snam': 'initRecList', '----': [False]}).send()
recList = playRec.event('ascrpsbr', {'snam': 'listRecDict', '----': []}).send()



If you really want to add a dictionary, assuming you've saved your applet as a bundle, use sdp to convert your sdef to a .r file, then use Rez to append it to your applet's applet.rsrc file:


sdp -fa playRec.sdef
Rez playRec.r -a -o applet.rsrc -useDF


You'll need to define your applet's handlers using the raw AE codes given in your dictionary, of course, e.g.


on «event PRecIntL» arg
   ...
end «event PRecILst»

<command name="init rec list" code="PRecIntL" description="">
	<direct-parameter type="boolean" description=""/>
</command>
