I've got some scripts that build and manipulate Quark documents... These
scripts work great under OS 9.x, but exhibit weird behavior under OS X,
10.1. I am specifically noticing that several of the box properties are
being returned as gobbledygook.
SCRIPT SNIPPET:
tell application "Quark"
tell document 1
set theBounds to bounds of picture box 1
end tell
end tell
RESULTS:
From Script Editor, in OS 9.2.1:
--> {"1.597\"", "2.458\"", "4.167\"", "6.958\""}
(this is what I expect to see)
From Script Editor, in OS X, 10.1:
--> +data FRMS002400000036000000B4000001C80C4A;
If I change the line to:
set theBounds to (bounds of picture box 1) as list
I get:
--> {+data FXVM00240000;, +data FXHM00360000;, +data FXVM00B40000;, +data
FXHM01C80C4A;}
Obviously, these data are unusable to me. Any ideas?
