Question

I would like to call a IBAction within a cocoa app from applescript:

I want to call:

    - (IBAction)reverse:(id)pId;
    {
        direction = -1;

    } 

with a line in an external applescript file like:

    tell application "theapp"
    reverse
    end tell

Any Ideas?

Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

Use NSAppleScript.

NSAppleScript *as = [[NSAppleScript alloc] initWithSource:@"tell application \"theapp\"\nreverse\nend tell"];
NSDictionary *err = nil;
NSAppleEventDescriptor *desc = [as executeAndReturnError:&err];
NSLog(@"Error: %@\nData: %@", err, desc.data);
[as release];
