In the new
world of Unicode-only strings, I'm at a loss as to how I can send an
Apple Event from AppleScript 2.0 in which the value of one of the
parameters is required to be an 8-bit string. I've tried to coerce the
value to 'string' in the event call, but to no avail. Here's my
code:
set msg to
"This is the message"
tell
application "FooBar" to <<event my_event>> given
<<class yatz>>:length of msg, <<class
putz>>:msg as string
This works
fine in Tiger (AppleScript 1.10.7), but fails on Leopard (AppleScript
2.0). Does anyone know of a way to send an 8-bit string as the value
of an event parameter from AppleScript 2.0?
Maybe you can use Satimage.osax' "extract string"
command.
