I tried a lot of AS and the error is related to the AS request. For example, this to get the current playing track in iTunes:tell application "iTunes" set curr_path to get location of current track return POSIX path of curr_path end tell The error: NSAppleScriptErrorAppName = iTunes; NSAppleScriptErrorBriefMessage = "Can\U2019t get location of current track."; NSAppleScriptErrorMessage = "iTunes got an error: Can\U2019t get location of current track."; NSAppleScriptErrorNumber = -1728;
That suggests the iTunes player is currently stopped, in which case a 'current track' reference usually isn't available. If you need to, you can find out iTunes' current state by querying the application's 'player state' property. Or you can trap the -1728 error raised if that's easier using a 'try' block.
FWIW, it's always a good idea to double-check AppleScript-related problems in the [Apple]Script Editor before posting for help. If the issue is NSAppleScript itself, post here or to the applescript- implementors list for help. If it's a general AppleScript query, you will have most luck posting it to applescript-users as that's where most of the AppleScripting experts reside.
