Richard,
Make a stack with the following script in the stack script:
on openStack
insert script of btn 3 of me into back
end openStack
The back script should be:
on bla
return the text of fld 1 of stack "x"
end bla
and the AppleScript:
tell application "LiveCode 4.6.1"
set x to choose file
set thePath to the POSIX path of x
do script "go stack \"" & thePath & "\""
do script "bla; return the result"
end tell
Run the AppleScript, choose your "hack" stack, excute whatever you like and
retrieve the result.
You can do this with standalones, too.
There might be a much simpler solution, but I know this works.
