Re: getting return from apple event

Here is the description that I have, it's asking Final Cut Pro for a list of currently open projects:

Get Open Projects List (kFCPGetAllOpenProjects 'fcLP' )
Description: Returns a list of open project files as FSRefs. Only projects with an associated file are returned.
Results: kFCPOpenProjectList 'fcOP'. An AEList of AERecords, each of which has a kFCPOneOpenProjectFile parameter.
kFCPOneOpenProjectFile 'fcPf'. A single path to a project file in the list of open projects. This parameter only occurs within the AEList returned by kFCPOpenProjectList. Its value is a file FSRef.


Based on that I would write:

try
	tell application "Final Cut Pro"
		set x to «event KeyGfcLP»
	end tell
	log "not failed"
on error errorMsg
	log errorMsg
end try
log x

Event Log:
tell application "Final Cut Pro"
	«event KeyGfcLP»
	(*not failed*)
		"The variable x is not defined."

Not getting why x is not defined. Not getting why I'm not getting anything. Not sure how to get things into fcOP and fcPf, and how to extract what I am looking for, which is file URLs for open project documents.

I guess my problem is that I don't know the syntax to use in Applescript (or anything else).

You need to provide more details.

What's the command, what application, etc.

Even better, send the snippet of AppleScript that' failing.

Hello,

I am having a hard time getting anything out of an apple event call. Supposed return would be a list of FSRefs, in the form of an AEList of AERecords, but I don't get anything. Help, please?

Thanks,

Rainer
