I changed it to a unique name (Stanley.app). Same problem.

Why, Snow Leopard of course :)

I typed run() because i was planning to pass arguments to it during the call, eg run(a,b,c). The script editor changes () to {} and inserts the space between them and "run". But the behavior is the same if I just use "run" without () or {}.
When I tell it to run from the second script, the icon starts hopping in the dock to get my attention. Only when I click it is the dialog displayed followed immediately by the error message "script.app got an error: Can’t continue run." number -1708". If I leave out the "display dialog", I get the message "script.app got an error: Connection is invalid."
I tried adding an "activate" to the run handler and/or telling it to "activate" rather than "run" from the second script but it makes no difference.
Why does this weird stuff always happen to me?
