Applescript, Clipboard, Libraries and Stand-alones

I need to find out the answer to this one!
I am using an Applescript from within Revolution that sets the
clipboard to an image that the Applescript fetches.
The script looks like the one below, where <name> , <playlist> and
<application> are replaced from the Revolution side. The name and
playlist are the names of the track and playlist and the application
is (I assume) the one that is calling the applescript??? But the
command and paste are sent from one stack to another (the other is a
library stack).
The entry for the clipboard states: set the clipboard to v :
Place data on an application’s clipboard. Use inside a ‘tell’ block
and activate the application first
try
tell application "iTunes"
set myTrackKind to the kind of artwork 1 of track "<name>" of
playlist "<playlist>"
if myTrackKind is 0 then
set myTrack to the (data of artwork 1 of track "<name>" of playlist
"<playlist>") as picture
end if
end tell
tell application "<application>"
activate
set the clipboard to myTrack as picture
end tell
end try
The problem is that when a stack or substack is set as the
"<application>" the script does not work. When Revoution is set as the
"<application>" it still does not work. The AS entry states that the
applications clipboard needs to be active first but I have tried the
Library, the Stack and Revolution (From within the IDE) and no
luck......
Any ideas here???
