At 01:59p -0500 09/30/2003, Steve Mills didst inscribe upon an
electronic papyrus:
Today I tried writing this:
tell app "blah"
set <<property 1234>> to true
end tell
When I compiled it, "property" got replaced with "class".
Yeah, that was a pain for me, too. I put a giant note in scripts like
--###Change this from class to property before compiling!!!!!!!###
The only documentation I could find online is
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppleScript/Conceptual/
AppleScriptLangGuide/AppleScript.62.html> (can't search for the
actual option-\ and option-shift-\ characters), but it doesn't
mention anything except the raw format of an event. Why did it
change it to "class"?
I don't know; it sure is blech-y.
Also, can't "constant" be used in chevrons? I'm sure I've seen this
recently when coercing enums to strings.
Yes, but it takes an 8-byte value rather than a 4-byte value. You can
often get by with using "****" for the first four bytes.
<<constant afdrpref>> -- preferences folder
<<constant ****pref>>
