Panther Problems

This line works for me in 10.2.x but doesn’t in 10.3:

tell application “Finder” to set container_win to container window of (choose folder)

Does anyone know how to make this work in 10.3? It looks like this is going to be added to a growing list of things that don’t work in the 10.3 Finder.

Thanks,
Jon

Hmmm. Works for me.

tell application "Finder"
	choose folder
		alias "Mac OS X:Users:sal:Documents:"
	get container window of alias "Mac OS X:Users:sal:Documents:"
		container window of folder "Documents" of folder "sal" of folder "Users" of startup disk
end tell

Nope, I keep getting:

tell application “Finder” to set container_win to container window of (choose folder)

–Event Log
tell application “Finder”
choose folder
–>alias “jon:Desktop:Testing:”
get container window of alias “jon:Desktop:Testing:”
–>“Finder got an error: Can’t get container window of alias “jon:Desktop:Testing:”.”
end tell

no matter what folder I choose.
