Applescript and Transmit problem.

[LuizMacedo]

Hi, folks.

 

I'm using a Applescript inside a script to upload files using Transmit 3.0.

But FM Pro 8.5 waits the upload to complete before go on. You can't use FM until upload finishes. Does anybody knows a workaround ?

 

Thank you !

I believe you can use Send Event to trigger an external Applescript. Send Event has a cb toggle for waiting or continuing.

Hi, Jack.

 

Yeah, it could work but I really don't know how to send the alias of the file I want to upload. At first I tried with the path of the file and it didn't work. Do you know any example of how to send the data from a field to a external Applescript ? I didn't see anything like that in the Apple Events Reference.

 

Thank you.

The word "yeah" with a capital Y becomes a banana playing the guitar.

Hi, Mentors.

 

Please, I can't make the original Applescript work using Send Apple Event.

What could be wrong ? Help.

 

this is the original Applescript:

 

set Pasta to the cellValue of cell "FTP DOWN" of current record

 

tell application "Transmit"

set SuppressAppleScriptAlerts to true

set theDoc to (make new document at end)

tell current session of theDoc

connect to "xxxxx" as user "xxxx" with password "xxxxx"

set their stuff to Pasta

end tell

end tell

 

 

Thank You

With the AS running from an external AppleScript executable, you're going to have to surround this part with tell application "FileMaker" / end tell.

Hi, AHunter.

 

Sorry, I forgot to remove this line in that reply.

 

I'm trying to make Transmit respond, after that I'll take care of passing data from cells to it. But is not working even with this:

 

tell application "Transmit"

set theDoc to (make new document at end)

tell current session of theDoc

connect to "xxxxr" as user "xxxx" with password "xxxx"

end tell

end tell

 

I even tried removing "tell application", once it is supposed to be executed by Transmit itself.

Just to remember, the complete script is working fine inside Filemaker with Perform Applescript. Now I'm trying to use Send Event with this options:

 

Target Application: "Transmit"

Send the do script event with:

Script Text

 

And after that, the script above.

 

Transmit opens but don't open any window.

It seems is don't receive any script.

 

Thank you for your help.
