Re: Applescript error - NSCannotCreateScriptCommandError

Thanks Nick. No, I hadn't seen Don's application but overall I think my
problem is more about the Cocoa side than the
scriptSuite/scriptTerminology side. It isn't clear to me precisely what
implementation is needed for some of the more sophisticated constructs
in AppleScript.

For example, I want to allow:

set everyTask to every task

So what does the TestApp object expose? I tried adding a tasks function
that returned an NSArray but I just got an NSInternalScriptError. Can
anybody point me at some documents or code that demonstrate how to
support this in Cocoa?

I did look at the sample code but they seemed focused on simple things.
I ready have support for being able to set and retrieve preference
values and that works fine. Apple's own documentation is rather
unclear. I guess what I'm really looking for is a document that
explains how to map AppleScript constructs to actual code.

I appreciate that adding AppleScript support to an existing application
can be frustrating if you want more than the very basics but with Tiger
coming, it seems that Apple want us to put more emphasis on writing
scriptable applications in which case can I put forward a plea to Apple
to provide more sample code at
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/AppleScript/index.html?
