One situation that occurs to me is that I may run a script form the Scripts palette in InDesign, and at other times, I might want to run it from Script Editor (so that I can modify elements). I prefer to be able to have dialogs come up wherever I currently am, without causing an application switch.


I think I assumed everyone followed the whole conversation thread and restated my question in a way that sounds more general than the one I originally asked. My real question is: When is it important to your scripts to be able to tell an application, other than the one running the script, to display a modal dialog with scripting additions?

Is it important to be able to prevent the user from interacting with an application that is not the one running the script?
