OS X version 10.1.4 / Applescript verion 1.8.2b4 / Script Debugger 3.0.3

script foo
script test1
end script
end script
on run
try
get test2 of foo
--get result
on error e number n
display dialog e & n
end try
end run
-->No error. No Dialog. Result undefined.

In fact even this generates no errors in debugger

script foo
end script

set a to a of foo
set b to bar of foo
set x to item 1 of (x of foo) as list
-->{item 1 of x} The AE Print for this reference is obj { form:'indx', want:
type('cobj'), seld:1, from:obj { form:'usrp', want:type('prop'), seld:"bar", from:'null'() } }
Why is this referencing "bar"?

- In Script Editor it displays a dialog "Can't make some data into the

- In Smile it gives the dialog "Can't get test2.-1728"

- When running as an applet, I get the same error as SE.

- Script Debugger 3.0.3, however, swans right through the script, no dialog
appearing at all.


What the #@$*!! is the reason for such horribly inconsistent behaviour
between these different environments?

A couple additional notes:

- I'm using OS8.6/AS1.3.7.

- Deivy Petrescu mailed me off-list to say that on his system
[OS10.1/AS1.8.1] he gets "Can't get test2.-1728" in both Smile _and_ SE.
[Hasn't got SD to test, however.]
