Hi:
Thanks. I was trying the below in my stack script, which I got from a
Jacquie message on the list:
global gFP
on appleEvent pClass, pID
if pClass is "aevt" and pID is "odoc" then
-- the file path is in the appleEvent data
request appleEvent data
put it into gFP
-- open the file here
put gFP into field "gFP" of card 1
else
pass appleEvent
end if
end appleEvent
But the standalone I build doesn't respond, and the field doesn't get populated.
I don't remember posting that, but I could have, it's a common handler
that is used by a lot of people. I don't think you need the global
variable though.
The handler should work, you should see a file path appear in the field
named "gFP" when you drop a file onto the app icon in the Dock or in the
Finder. (It won't work if you are dropping files onto the open stack
window.)
You could add a temporary answer dialog to the "else" clause that would
tell you if the event is being passed instead of handled. Or add an
answer dialog before the "if" to see if the handler is running at all.
