c() of application "ScriptServer"

Through a quick test, I get here an error message that goes as "b of a doesn't understand message c" This doesn't seem to reflect the above (c() of application "ScriptServer").

The error message is incorrect. The applet returns an error number (-1708) to indicate the event wasn't handled. The error message is generated by the AppleScript runtime itself, based on the error code returned and the code that triggered it, and this happens upstream from where the problem occurs. Like I say, this stuff is broken, so don't take anything for granted.


You can verify this yourself by enabling AEDebug [1] and looking at Console.app to see what really gets sent to the app when 'c() of b of a of application "ScriptServer"' is executed. You'll notice it has no 'subj' attribute, which is where the 'b of a' reference ought to appear. Compare with executing 'tell b of a of application "ScriptServer" to c()', which at least generates the correct Apple event.

[1] There's a drag-n-drop applet on my site that can do this for you.
