Question

I have been trying to launch two applications that I created with a single applescript file. (I am using OS X Lion)

The code I am using is:

tell application "app1" to activate
tell application "app2" to activate

Doing either one of these two tells works, but both together only launches the first application…

Does anyone know what I an doing wrong?

The first application is a C application compiled by xCode, and the second application is an AIR/Flash application created/published in Flash CS4

I’ve also tried

do shell script "my_path_here/app1"
do shell script "my_path2_here/app2"

which only launches the first application.

I’ve also tried:

do shell script "my_path_here/app1" & "; my_path2_here/app2"

which STILL only launches the first application.

I’ve discovered that this script will work:

do shell script "cd my_path_here/ ; open app1 ; cd my_path2_here/ ; open app2"

This accomplishes what I need done, but still leaves open the original problem, as this is a workaround and not a fix… This might shed more light on what the issue could be though.
