Droplet app with AppleEvent

[Zax]

I just downloaded version 2.74 and I still have thes ame problem ("applevent"
is received and well trapped *only if my app is already launched*.
Otherwise, when I drop a file onto my app's icon, it launches my app by
doesn't receive any apple event :(

So, what am I doing wrong?
I tried with the timer (even when increasing the time) but it doesn't appear
to be a right solution because the first "appleEvent" is not received.

Thanks for tou help!
