I had assumed that when a static string was used as an AppleScript in
filemaker (as opposed to a field) that compilation would occur once.
However, the simple applescript:
property x : "abc"
display dialog "X?" default answer x
set x to text returned of the result
... provides the same default answer every time it is run, indicating
that compilation occurs every time the script is run. I've tried this
in FileMaker Developer 6 and 7 and get the same result.
Is there any way to stop FileMaker from recompiling the script every time?
I was assuming that using a string was more efficient than
referencing a large script in a file ... but for large, complex
scripts, this may well not be the case.
