Missing Plugin or additional file for apple script

pmhooda · January 20, 2005, 7:40pm

Hi,

I am newbie to apple scripts. I created an script couple of years ago and it was working fine until today. Today my computer’s HDD crashed and I had to install new HDD. I had the backup of scripts. After copying and when I am trying to run script its giving me error. I was using event to copy (cmd+c) and paste (cmd+v) data. Now its giving error, doesn’t understand the event. I believe there was some additional plugin or file which I need to copy in specific folder and that file was helping me to copy and paste data.

any hint or help will be appreciated.

thanks

Just tell us the event name…

This is what i can read inside the script editor.

«event TyTe» “v” --select text tool
«event TyTe» “a” with «class Com» --select all
«event TyTe» “c” with «class Com» --copy

can this help you ?

Sure! You are missing Sï¿½ndi’s Additions:

thanks jj.

I recalled that i had this addition. Now I downloaded again and tried to follow these instrution as per sandis notes
"
This package of scripting additions extends the functionality of AppleScript™ and all scriptable applications. To use it, place it in the Scripting Additions folder found in the Extensions folder of your System Folder.
"

I didn’t have any scripting additions folder under extensions. so I created one folder “Scripting Additions” and copied downloaded file “sandis addition” into this folder.
but still getting error.

Any thing else I am missing ? Just let you know that I am using classic mac os 9.2 on computer which have osx too.
