applescript in standalones?

[Brian Milby]

I can confirm that the following scripts work as expected in a stand alone
application (9.0.1):

on mouseUp
   local tScript
   put "Display Dialog" && quote & "Hello world" & quote into tScript
   do tScript as "AppleScript"
   answer the result   -- '{button returned:"OK"}' if you click the OK
button
end mouseUp

on mouseUp
   do "1 + 1" as "AppleScript"
   answer the result   -- 2
end mouseUp

on mouseUp
   do field "TheScript" as "AppleScript" -- tested with "beep"
   answer the result   -- empty for beep
end mouseUp


The linked bug deals with the other direction - your built application
being able to receive applescript commands to "do script".  For a while,
the sdef file/plist entry was missing so the IDE couldn't receive those
commands but that has been fixed.  Patching the build scripts to include
the file/update the plist would be fairly easy but adding the check box for
the setting would require a binary stack update.

Thanks,
Brian
