Hi Tommy, The following link has a description of how to turn on Apple Event Logging to see what is going wrong: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppleScript/Conceptual/ AppleEvents/debugging_aepg/chapter_9_section_4.html I think I also found a problem in your event creation (noted in- line below) I actually appear to get an error value of noErr from my AESend call, but nothing happens in Final Cut. If I do the same action from the sample code FinalCutPro_AppleEvents (an attempt to open a project), it opens no problem. So in my Carbon code (which is actually a jni lib with a java interface), I've extracted some code from the Cocoa sample FinalCutPro_AppleEvents: (which, again, results in noErr from AESend but nothing happens) // create open project event if (my_event.err == noErr) { my_event.err = AECreateDesc(typeApplSignature, &my_class, sizeof(OSType), &(my_event.appAddr) ); } if (my_event.err == noErr) { my_event.err = AECreateAppleEvent(eventType, kFCPEventClass, &(my_event.appAddr) , kAutoGenerateReturnID, kAnyTransactionID, &(my_event.theEvent) ); I think this should be: my_event.err = AECreateAppleEvent(my_class , eventType, &(my_event.appAddr) , kAutoGenerateReturnID, kAnyTransactionID, &(my_event.theEvent) ); // pass in a posix style path (relative or absolute i think), converted to url then fsref void assign_project_file ( CFStringRef path) { ref = CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath(NULL, (CFStringRef) path, kCFURLPOSIXPathStyle, false); if (CFURLGetFSRef(ref, &fileFSRef)) { my_event.err = AEPutParamPtr(&(my_event.theEvent) , kFCPProjectFileKey, typeFSRef, &fileFSRef, sizeof(FSRef)); } // ship it if (my_event.err == noErr) { my_event.err = AESend(&(my_event.theEvent), & (my_event.theReplyEvent), kAEWaitReply, kAEHighPriority, kAEDefaultTimeout, NULL, NULL); } I can't seem to get FCP to respond from Carbon code. I extracted the necessary code from the Cocoa sample FinalCutPro_AppleEvents over to Carbon but now it doesn't work. Yes, FCP Apple Events can be used in Carbon. The OS shouldn't care what libraries a given app links against when using Apple Events. You might want to post a snippet of code and what error values you're getting back.
