| I just stumbled across this while using the Script Debugger app to debug an iTunes script that writes out the current song that I'm listening to.
The caveat here is that you need to have a copy of the Script debugger app from LateNightSW.
What I did was define a property as the application I want to tunnel in to and see all the properties it has that I can mess with.
Then, I just made a main loop and set a breakpoint in the loop after turning on debugging for my script.
Since I don't want to upgrade to iTunes 11, I renamed my copy of iTunes 10.7 as "iTunes 10.7" so that should explain the name change of the app in the script below.
In any case, I just ran the script and in the debugger all the properties of iTunes that are exposed are listed in the debugger under pApp. It's fantastic.
property pApp : application "iTunes 10.7"
on run repeat while true true -- breakpoint here do shell script "sleep 1" end repeat end run
