Answering my own question:
Because the "System Events" application is the front-most application,
Default Folder X is talking to it, instead of DVD Studio Pro. Therefore, I
must insert a line in the script as follows:
tell application "DVD Studio Pro" to activate
right before the Default Folder X line.

Subject: UI Scripting: Setting Save As Folder
I'm trying to get the Default Folders X to set a folder within a "Save
As..." dialog box like this:
tell application "System Events"
tell process "DVD Studio Pro"
click menu item "Save As
" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
end tell
end tell
tell application "Default Folder X" to SwitchToFolder alias
"AkiraHD:Users:Shared:"
And it seems to be hanging on that last command (and not switching to the
correct folder in the dialog. I have to switch back to the Script Editor
and hit CMD-. to stop the process.
What could I be doing wrong here?
thanks
jess
