How to write script calling with parameter [CS6-js (Mac)]

[Beliakov]

I'm doing script for produsing some sound:

var mString = "tell application \"Play Sound\"\rplay \"Mac:Users:a.ivanov:Sounds:" + "copied.wav" + "\"\rend tell"

app.doScript(mStrtest, ScriptLanguage.applescriptLanguage);

This work well.

Now, i'd like to call this script from other script with any desired wav-file (not only "copied.wav" )). How to write down correctly calling other script with param.

Thanks

Hi;

indesign cs 6 scriptingguide page 16 😉

P.S: you may also use MacOs builtIn afplay to play soundfiles 😉

Page 16, as i understand, says about using doscript, but not calling other file. More over - i can't get worked this ScriptingGuide-example (pure copy-pasted in ESTK and don't work)

And "afplay" my Mac doesn't have (spotligth don't see it).

Hi,

var myParameters = ["Mac:Users:a.ivanov:Sounds:", "copied.wav"];

var myAppleScript = "tell application \"Play Sound\" to play  ((item 1 of arguments) & item 2 of arguments)";

app.doScript(myAppleScript, ScriptLanguage.applescriptLanguage, myParameters);

doScript also excepts file, so if wanted save the line myAppleScript as *.jsx and insert the Filereference in the doScript

P.S. Assume MacOsx prior 10.5 may not include afplay
