Title: persistence of script
properties
I thought that script properties that were changed when a
compiled script was run were saved by the 'store script' command, but
this does not seem to be the case. My reading of Goodman and Neuburg
both lead me to believe that when I load a script, run it in a way
that changes its properties, then store it, then reload it and run it
again, the changed values of the properties should be there. Here is
my example:
-- script runner
property theScriptAlias : ""
if theScriptAlias = "" then
set theScriptAlias to choose file of type
{"osas"} -- choose file containing my test script
below
end if
set theScript to load script theScriptAlias
run script theScript
display dialog "after run: theScript's x is " &
theScript's x
store script theScript in theScriptAlias replacing yes
-- end of script runner
-- test script
property x : 0
set x to x + 1
activate me
display dialog "x is " & x
-- end of test script
I set theScriptAlias to be the file containing my test
script.
The test script runs, displaying "x is 1".
Then I get "after run: theScript's x is 0", not '1' as
I would expect.
Of course, when I rerun my script runner, I still get "x is
1", not "x is 2", which I would have gotten if 'x' had
been saved by 'store script'.
Can anyone explain this?
Thanks,
Don
