Simultaneous Events


  • Subject: Simultaneous Events
  • From: Simon Forster <email@hidden>

In the last couple of days there have been at least 2 posts asking how
AppleScript applications and/or AppleEvents handle simultaneous events. I'd
like to know this too.

For my part, I wrote an AppleScript CGI which would "email this web page to
a friend". It worked fine except, if the CGI was handling a request,
subsequent requests seemed to be ignored until the current task had been
completed. How to work around this?

I imagine that each event should instantiate a new AppleScript object -
although whether this is possible in AppleScript and how one does this is
unclear to me at this point in time.

Any pointers to understanding how AppleScript can handle simultaneous events
would be appreciated.
