Unfortunately, this happens even if I use a subroutine with no
arguments:
AppleScript Studio application "my_app":
on test()
log "foo"
end test
on launched the_app
test()
end launched
Script:
try
tell application "my_app" to test()
on error err
log err
end try
tell application "my_app" to quit
When I start my_app, "foo" prints on the Run Log. When I run the
script, the error message "Can't continue test." is printed to the log,
and then my_app quits (so the second tell is working).
What does "Can't continue XXX." mean? It's a little vague compared to
what I'm used to in every other programming/scripting language I've
ever used. Is there an equivalent to a stack trace or errno in
AppleScript? Any place I can get more useful information?
Any ideas? Any help is very much appreciated.

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).
Try assigning the value to a variable, such as:
set the_URL to "http://www.apple.com/";
showWeb(the_URL)
