Out of Memory when Importing Image
Out of Memory when Importing Image

When running an AppleScript that makes a call to a FileMaker script
that performs an Insert Picture command, I get the following error:
Sorry, "image.jpg" could not be imported. Ran out of memory while
translating
The error only appears when the AppleScript is run from a Perform
AppleScript script step in a FileMaker script. The Perform AppleScript
script step references a field that contains the script, but pasting
the script into the script step itself doesn't change the behavior.
I found a tech note on the FileMaker web site that mentions this error
on Windows, but I'm running this with FileMaker Developer 6 on Mac OS X
10.2. The tech note (#107440) says that if the image takes more than
16 MB to parse, then this error will appear. These are relatively
small images, however (the largest is 180K).
Running the exact same script from Script Editor instead of from within
a FileMaker script does not produce the error. The images import with
no problem. The images open without trouble in both Preview and
GraphicConverter.
The only thing I can think of is that there's a problem with a
FileMaker script having an AppleScript that calls another FileMaker
script, and I'm working on rewriting the routine to test this
possibility, but that's not going to be easy, because the calls to the
FileMaker script inside the AppleScript take place within a repeat
loop, so I can't just have the first part of the AppleScript run, then
have the FileMaker script run, then do the rest of the AppleScript.
I'm running this with Mac OS X 10.2, FileMaker Developer 6.
Anyone have experience with this and any ideas of what I can do?
Thanks,
Chuck
