And the objectSpecifier is as follows (copied from previous posts on similar topics):

- (NSScriptObjectSpecifier *)objectSpecifier {
NSScriptObjectSpecifier *containerRef = [NSApp objectSpecifier];

return [[[NSIndexSpecifier alloc] initWithContainerClassDescription:[containerRef
keyClassDescription] containerSpecifier:containerRef key:@"metadata"
index:0] autorelease];
}

As shown in the console output, I am not able to use the AppleScript object in a get statement.
Also, I notice in Script Editor that I get: +class ; 1 shown after running the extract command. Not sure this is correct.
Anyone see what is wrong with what I have done?

Yeah, the -objectSpecifier method won't work properly. The object specifier for NSApp is actually nil. Try (NSScriptClassDescription *)[NSApp classDescription] instead of [containerRef keyClassDescription].


Ok that fixed at least one thing -- Script Editor now shows metadata 1 as the returned value after running the extract command. However, I still can't use get (or set) commands on my object. I still get an "NSInternalScriptError" error on these commands. It seems like AS commands are not getting to my object. Are AS commands sent to the NSApplication and I have to somehow forward them to my object?
