am trying to write an iTunes script with a user interface through xCode
The problem I am having is that this code behaves differently between xCode and applescript?
tell application "iTunes"
set whatyadoing to player state as text
end tell
display dialog "Info : " & whatyadoing
in script editor I get a nice, “playing”, “paused” etc,
in xcode im getting “<<constant ****kPSp>>”
My question is why is this? and how can I get the easy to read result like in the script editor?
From reading through the documentation it looks like xcode can’t reach the nescessary information from iTunes to make sense of the data iTunes gives it, do I need to set up some sort of link so that xCode knows where to get the info? Am I doing something foolishly wrong? Or is my installation of xCode misbehaving. My worry is if I make my applcation do comparisons on the double chevron code, its going to be harder to read and I am worried that if I find some link I need to make I will need to change my code later. I would also like to be able to pass the descriptive values back to the user without having to interprit what they mean.
Thanks, dave
