Sorry Gary,
I was forwarding my own previous post
back to the list as I hadn't received a response - kinda gently prompting
for a response. It was a continuation of a thread that has been going since
Fri (I think) of last week.
What I'm trying to do is have the file
name, of the file/s dropped onto the droplet, appear in the display dialog
window. When a user drops multiple files onto the droplet and it asks them
to enter the DVD title, if it doesn't mention the name of the file it's
working on then the user could enter the wrong title for the wrong file.
Sorry again, this was all explained
in my previous posts... I didn't want to send a huge email boring the list
with the whole thing again. <8-}
Anyway, the error is saying it is an
alias and can't return just the file name. I can get it working by just
entering aFile in the display dialog line but the resulting dialog shows
the entire file path, making the dialog look unnecessarily confusing.
Cheers,
Coj
The whole script is much longer (there
are a number of handlers that were removed) so what you saw was just the
parts that were playing up.

What are you trying to do? Is the subject of this email your goal?
I didn't see anything in your code that did anything at all except show
a
dialog where I could enter a string.
Nothing I read suggested you were trying to get the name of a file at all.
