Re: Calling AppleScript from Cocoa

	activate
end tell

I have an application that began as an AppleScript Studio project, but over time I realized I wanted the full power of Cocoa at my disposal, so switched.

I still want to make AppleScript calls to control iTunes, and have been experimenting with sending small scripts to the NSAppleScript object. One annoying thing I have found is that when I tell iTunes to "activate" from one of these scripts, iTunes launches but does not become the active application -- my Cocoa app remains in the foreground. Much of the functionality I am trying to automate with AppleScript depends on iTunes being the active application. When I run the same script from the Script Editor, it works great.

Is there some way of bringing another application into the foreground? I'm new to both AppleScript and Cocoa, so my apologies if this is a dumb question.

Thanks,
Steve C.
