Dear Quark scripters,
Can anyone offer suggestions as to why I occasionally get script errors
when running scripts for QuarkXPress that make use of the time-saving "do
script" command?
It happens from time to time and it is most aggravating 'cause I can't
seem to isolate anything that would trigger the failure.
This morning, for example, I ran such a script and it worked fine. I then
decided to tweak it a bit and, after a little editing, ran it again and
it failed with the message "script x doesn't understand the do script
message." . . . So I tried again with the original version (which had
just worked 15 minutes earlier) and got the same error. . . . OK, so I
restart and figure I'll clear my computer's head. . . . Try again with
same error. I open the script and see that even system commands (like
"beep") are turned into event codes. . . . So I remove all non-Apple
OSAX, reboot, and try again. . . . Same thing.
Any clues?
Many thanks,
Dan Feather
