Is it possible to generate a file that can then be run as a compiled
applescript?
I tried the following:
set scriptName to "blech"
tell application "Finder"
set theScript to "-- text of script goes here"
set theFile to ("HardDisk:Users:sgp:Desktop:" & scriptName)
set the openFile to open for access file theFile with write permission
set eof of the openFile to 0
write theScript to the openFile starting at eof
close access the openFile
set theFile to file theFile
set creator type of theFile to "ToyS"
set file type of theFile to "osas"
end tell
But when trying to open the file, I get:
"Could not read the file because of a scripting-system (OSA) error"
Which I suppose is fair enough seeing that I've basically made a
straightforward text file and then just changed the types.
So what do I actually need to do or is this kind of thing only possible if
using a scriptable editor like Script Debugger?
