The code I presented was part of a larger Xcode project I've been
working on. As for passing a value to the keychain handler that was
just done... well dunno... that's the way I got it to work so i kept it
there. As for the "On clicked theObject" this is where I'm having the
problems. Any references to my variable inside this call gives me the
error that there is no defined variable.
According to the books I've been looking at once a variable is declared
global it will work throughout the script regardless, unlike "local"
variables which only work inside each subroutine. This is the part
that's making my head bang against the wall.
Thanks for all your help on this bill,

Works OMM (MacOS 9.2.2, AS 1.8.3), however. I'm wondering if the
snippet you've posted is out of context and thus I'm not encountering
the problem you are. First, I don't see why you've passed a value to
your keychainpass handler when you don't make use of it in the actual
handler. Second, it works without the global declaration:
set importpass to my keychainpass("password") as string
on keychainpass(myvalue)
try
tell application "Keychain Scripting"
tell keychain 1
unlock
set theKey to first key whose name is "Add User Info"
set endvalue to (password of theKey) as string
return endvalue
end tell
end tell
end try
end keychainpass
importpass
--> returns the expected value
Third, the "on clicked theObject, tell window of theObject..." lines
of code look like a FaceSpan handler. Is it possible that problem has
more to do with your FaceSpan project than the Applescript code? At
what point do you get the variable not defined error message?
B!ll

I've read books on this, researched the heck outta it, and ever
example I come up >with says this should work but it doesn't. All I
want to to declare the values I get from >the keychain as global
variables so they will work within my subroutines and inside >"on
clicked theObject" etc. but when I do the following:
global importpass
set importpass to my keychainpass("password") as string
on keychainpass(myvalue)
try
tell application "Keychain Scripting"
tell keychain 1
unlock
set theKey to first key whose name is "Add User Info"
set endvalue to (password of theKey) as string
return endvalue
end tell
end tell
end try
end keychainpass
on clicked theObject
tell window of theObject
......
I get a variable "importpass" not defined. Is there something stupid
I'm missing?
