setting the system volume - very strange

[Mike Hughes]

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for your reply. I've dug a little deeper into the issue and am even 
more confused. When I create a brand new stack, the AppleScripts to adjust 
the volume work fine.

However, in the stack where I actually want the volume setting, ALL 
AppleScripts tend to work except for volume setting ones. Its really weird. 
I even tried executing the volume setting AS in the first line of the 
preOpenStack handler in the main stack and still got a compiler error.

Does anyone know what types of conditions could exist to generate a compiler 
error in one stack and not in another with the same one-line AS?

Thanks,

Mike
