Another way to accomplish this is with a local function. AppleScript supports local functions via a slight indirection: you can define local script objects and call their handlers.
on F() -- ... script S -- ... if x then return -- ... end script
tell S to run
-- ... end F
Using the implicit “run” handler shortens the overall code slightly. You can also name handlers explicitly, of course:
on F() -- ... script S on G() -- ... if x then return -- ... end G end script
S's G()
-- ... end F
Unlike a “repeat 1 times” loop, this approach enables the local function to return values, so you don’t have to communicate by setting variables.
