Code changes don't do anything?

Hi all!

I just started some touch up work to fix a few bugs and add a few features to an Applescript app I created about a year or so ago. I ran into a few problems though, and am not quite sure how to proceed.

I started out by trying to make a text field change content after a button is pushed. But nothing happened after I changed the code. (I made sure to save and compile and everything.) After more experimentation, I discovered I could delete the entire contents of the script file, save it, then compile and run it and the program would happily run along, as if nothing had changed.

I discovered that if I do things like Clean the project, my app would no longer show the settings panel on startup like it is suppose too.

I presume cleaning the project is a necessary step, since it’s obviously getting code that hasn’t been changed to run itself. Is this the case? Do I just need to remember how to re-instate the panel load at launch time?

(Oh, all of the programing for the app was done on a PowerBook G4, but my current machine is an Intel iMac. The project is set to compile for a universal binary (I think that’s what it means.) and I have it set to 10.4, since I’d like the app to work there as well. Could this be part of the issue as well?)

Thanks much!
