Launch another app from my standalone

[Phil Jimmieson]

Hi Adrian,
if the script in your email is exactly what you are using, then you  
need to move the function declaration outside of the mouseup handler.  
I don't think that these things can be nested.

- - -
FUNCTION getPathToFile pFile
     put the filename of this stack into the theFile
     set the itemdelimiter to slash
     put pFile into the last item of theFile
     return theFile
end getPathToFile


on mouseUp
    start using stack "My App"

    put "MyPrettyFont.ttf" into myList
    removeFonts myList
    put the result into rslt
    if rslt is not empty then
         answer information rslt
    end if

    --To use:
    put getPathFile("My App.exe") into tFile
    launch tFile

    stop using stack "My App"  --(Ooops. Corrected literal 'May' here  
in my last message, this is not the problem)
end mouseUp
