Droplets and AppleEvents

[Dave]

Hi,

Thanks a lot Jim. It's first thing in the morning here and I haven't  
quite woken up - not enough tea flowing through my system yet!

I'm not 100% sure what you mean here. I have a Standalone App that  
has a Splash Screen "Place Holder", this loads and then calls another  
stack, then depending on what the user does, other stacks will be  
opened/closed etc.

 From looking at what you wrote below, I am guessing that you mean I  
should have one object (in a separate stack file?) with a Script that  
has the appleEvent handler in it? This would be doable in my case,  
but I would have have the appleEvent handler object in the Splash  
Screen Stack and obviously not close it anymore.

Also I'm not sure if I should be using frontScripts or backScripts. I  
want this handler to take priority over any other appleEvent handlers  
and I don't want them to get the appleEvent message. In this case  
should I add the object to the frontScripts and then NOT pass the  
message?

I'm playing with this now but any suggestions or advice would be  
greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot
All the Best
Dave
