Don't frighten the pigeons! 'get data of cell x' is good applescript. FMP has always defined "get data" and "set data". You've simply managed without it.



It's not all that common in FM applescripting to use 'data of
cell'

With good reason, it doesn't work ;-) The code is 'get data (cell x)', not 'get (data of cell x)'.


If you run these lines of code you'll see that the word get is highlighted differently.

cell x -- uses AppleScript's "get" event implicitly
get cell x -- uses AppleScript's "get" event explicitly
get data cell x -- uses FMP's "get data" event
