But, how can I define a variable available at all my script?
If I understand your question, I think I've got an answer. You want
variables that you can set and which will stay in place for multiple
executions of a droplet application, right?
Build your script with property declarations for the variables you want
to keep "alive" between runs. Build a run handler, which is executed
when you double-click the applet's icon, to set the values of the
properties. The open handler, which executes when you drop things on
the icon, can then use these values and they will remain constant until
you execute the run handler again to change them.
