Wacky of QuarkXPress 4.1!

Hello,


I have been scripting a Quark project for a week now and the below code was
working fine.

Quark 4.1, OS 9.1, AppleScript 1.6



tell application "QuarkXPress"
tell document 1
tell page 1
set pictureBox to (make new picture box at end with properties
{bounds:{"-0.123", "0", "11.002", "8.5"}})

tell pictureBox

set image 1 to (vPdfPath as alias)

end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell



Then today while scripting in Script Debugger 3, Debugger unexpectedly quit.

Now it errors

"QuarkXPress got an error: Read-only property cannot be changed."

On this line:

set image 1 to (vPdfPath as alias)


And now looking at Quarks dictionary under the object image: it is read only
and worked before.

file path alias [r/o] -- path to the source image for this picture


What gives? What Should I do? Has anyone experienced this?

Thanks,

Jason Bourque
