[CS4/JS/AS] doScript pass variable from JS to AS
I have this doScript that I wish to pass a variable (theFold) to the AppleScript it is calling:
#target "InDesign-6.0"
var theFold = ["Spotlight"]
var myScriptFolderPath = ("Macintosh HD:Users:user:Desktop:Unlock V3.app:");
app.doScript(File(myScriptFolderPath),ScriptLanguage.applescriptLanguage, theFold);
The AppleScript is:
property theAdd : "Macintosh HD:Users:user:Desktop:"
on run(fromJava)
tell application "Finder"
set nameTwo to (fromJava as text)
set theName to (theAdd & nameTwo) as alias
my openSez(theName)
end tell
end run
on openSez(theName)
tell application "Finder"
set folderContents to (items in folder theName)
if (count of folderContents) > 0 then
-- cycle through each item in the folder
repeat with i from 1 to count of folderContents
set carryThrough to (item i of folderContents)
-- if it's another folder, then recurse
if kind of carryThrough is "folder" then
set theName to (carryThrough as string)
my openSez(theName)
else
if locked of carryThrough is true then
set locked of carryThrough to false
end if
end if
end repeat
end if
end tell
end openSez
Is it possible to pass a variable when you call a script from a path?
I get the error "Can't make <script> into Unicode text.
Thanks for any help or comments.
