I know but I can't find out the AppleEvent for Play Playlist.
Is there some sort of a program that will parse the AppleScript and
make an
cocoa AppleEvent code.
If you just want the raw four-char-codes from an application's
dictionary so you can construct NSAppleEventDescriptors yourself, you
can obtain them in various ways: ASDictionary (on the appscript site)
can export raw application dictionaries as fairly readable UTF8 files;
Late Night Software's Script Debugger provides a very nice GUI that
can extract and display just about anything you can think of; OS X's
Script Editor or sdef tool can dump out application dictionaries in
raw XML format.
Not quite, but you can get pretty close. Go to the section titled "An
Example" on this page:
http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?AEVTBuilder
It shows how to make Script Editor dump the Apple Events it's sending,
and then how to translate this into code.
FWIW, the approach that ASTranslate uses is to install a custom
AESendProc into an AppleScript component and have the user run an
AppleScript. Any events sent by the script are intercepted by the
custom callback, which pulls the event apart and formats its
constituent parts as Python/Ruby/ObjC-style code; no manual
translation required. Pretty easy to do if you're interested in
providing a similar converter for AEVTBuilder; you could probably hack
one from its existing ObjC translator if you know any Python.
