Thanks very much - I am definitely getting there!
I'm still bit stumped on a few things.
My goal is to supply some AppleScript with an application that would be
stored in a sub folder of the application folder. Since someone might
install the main folder anywhere they please... The first time the
AppleScripts are run, they won't know where the files are.
so if I preset the script to say something generic ...
set thefile to alias "thisdrive:goodstuff:test1.fp5"
... On my computer - for me - it says this script will not compile - and
only save as text. I guess this is because it's looking for something
active and real right now.
- So how you " preprogram " Files/folder items paths for scripts in
advanced?
... like this??? But...
tell application "Finder"
activate
try
set thefile to alias "thisdrive:goodstuff:test1.fp5"
open file tester
on error
set tester to alias choose file with prompt "Please choose the
appropriate file"
open file tester
end try
end tell
BTW: once the new file is found I wrote:
set tester to alias choose file with prompt "Please choose the appropriate
file"
... Is that the correct syntax : set tester to alias choose file ...?
