This has only started happening in the last few weeks. And it only
happens with scripts that I create now...
I get error -28442 when I create a new script & try to run it from the
AW6 script menu. This is the clue.
...scripts created earlier with Script Editor 1.9 and 2 still run fine
from AppleWorks' Script Menu...
..I've tried troubleshooting the problem in all the usual ways -
deleting preferences, saving compiled scripts in both the resource
fork and data fork (ie saving them a 'little c' compiled scripts or
'big C' Compiled scripts from Script Editor 1.9.), etc.
That method of creating resource fork scripts doesn't work.
From Christoperh Nebel to AS Users, 3 March 2003:
...there is no difference between "Compiled Script" and "compiled
script". The idea that one does resource-fork and one does data-fork
is a myth, which I think got started as a random guess from someone
trying to explain why the heck there were two items in the first >
place.
In fact, Script Editor 1.9 saves all new scripts as data-fork;
existing scripts are saved as whatever they were. (I.e., open a
resource-fork script, save it; it's still a resource-fork script.)
Prior to 1.9, all scripts are saved as resource-fork.
It seems likely that AW6 doesn't support data fork scripts, which is
not surprising seeing as it hasn't been updated for years.
Try copying an existing resource fork script file & using that as a the
basis for a new script, using a pre-1.9 version of Script Editor, or
another editor that allows for the creation of new resource fork
scripts.
Cheers,
Fork D Tongue
