Hi Jim,
Coincidentally, I've aslo emailed 24U Software support today. My query was related to 24U Appearance OSAX support in Lion as it doesn't work at all now.
I was in communication with them last year regarding a 64-bit version and they said they were working on a Snow Leopard compatible version. That was due to be released last summer. I haven't heard anything since.

Yeah it will do. osascript won't show dialogs. You might be able to get around this by wrapping your calls to the osax in 'tell application "System Events"' or 'tell application "Finder"' calls. I haven't tested how reliable this would be with 24U Appearance OSAX with though. This works for a simple 'display dialog' test:
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to display dialog "Hello"'
,
> Is it possible to run compiled scripts utilizing the 24U Appearance OSAX from the script menu, or do the scripts have to be compiled as an application and forced to run in 32-bit mode?
No, I don't think so. You can only make scripts saved as an app run in 32-bit mode.
> Alternatively, is there any other options for OSAX for building progress bars and dialog boxes directly out of Applescripts (not getting into the whole Applescript Studio and Interface Builder)?
Not that I've been able to find so far. I'll probably write my own progress bar app in Obj-C.
Simon
