I have a script that is set to stay open. It has an "on reopen" event in the script. When I click on the icon for the script in the doc, it runs the "on reopen" event. Great. But if I use Command-Tab to select the application in the doc, it does NOT run the "on reopen" event, but rather just brings the script to the forground.

Not a bug. "reopen" is issued in response to opening an application that is already open. Clicking on a Dock icon is a request to open it. Cycling through applications with Command-Tab just brings them to the front -- your script should get an "activate" message.
