Howdy all,

I am a long-time programmer who is new to AppleScript. I have a (hopefully quick) question. I have an application called "my_app" that I'm writing in AppleScript using AppleScript Studio. It has a subroutine showWeb(a_url) (a_url is a string).

I'm writing another script to try to call my_app's showWeb(...) subroutine. Here's what I'm doing in the second script:

	tell application "my_app"
		set web_window to window "WebWindow"
		tell web_window to set alpha value to 0.5
		tell web_window to show
		showWeb("http://www.apple.com/";)
	end tell

Unfortunately, when I try to run the secondary script, it keeps presenting the error: "Can't continue showWeb." (the other commands work fine). Incidentally, showWeb(...) calls other subroutines defined in my_app (if that makes a difference).

I have been trying to search the web/mailing list archives to no avail. I even found a site that said I should do exactly what I've been doing but it doesn't seem to work for me (see #6 here):

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

	-- Matt
