This is a sample Xcode 2.1 project for AppleScript Studio developers featuring floating cartoons with transparency and draggability. This project picks code (CustomWindow class) from Apple’s “RoundTransparentWindow” sample, and uses Jonathan Nathan’s code (methods.m) to resize automatically the window based on the used movie’s size.
Though it uses a bit of obj-c, you don’t need it to make your own floating thing, just pick and use what is already done, adding your own movies, buttons, etc, and follow your regular AppleScript Studio workflow. More info in the read me file.
