I used this technique to get my jEdit/AppleScript/After Effects stuff to work (and did better implementation after i received no response to my comment :-( ). Well, I've been trying to figure out a way to use another technique because apparently, in Leopard, this will not work with garbage-collected apps (like jEdit I suppose) and will crash the host app. It is a "known bug" and Apple seems to be dragging their feet regarding this NSAppleScript bug. Any clues as to what to do instead? If anything? thanks |

NSAppleScript apparently crashes in Leopard

I have dispensed with NSAppleScript because of the horrible crash bug, and I am successfully accomplishing this by using Java (running BeanShell script) that writes to a javascript file in /tmp/, then uses
rtime = Runtime.getRuntime() and
rtime.exec()
to execute the osascript command with a compiled AS script in the same folder (which just runs the javascript file in AE). Simple!
