[SPECULATION]
I think both "read" and "write" are compiled internally in FM as a
"constant" (related to the "access" property of the "database" class),
instead of the apple-events from the Standard Additions.
When you copy-paste your script to FM, you may want substitute "write" with
"«event rdwrwrit»".
Also, about your script not compiling in Smile... What is the
hilited-offending line when you try to compile?
