I can send an AppleScript to another program with LiveCode but I
don’t see any examples of how to receive them.
There's an example in the docs under the "appleEvent" entry:
on appleEvent theClass,theID
if theClass is "misc" and theID is "dosc" then
request appleEvent data -- get the content of the AppleEvent
do URL ("file:" & it)
end if
pass appleEvent
end appleEvent
Put it in the stack script, or somewhere else that is always in the
message path. You need to know the class and ID that you want to catch.
If you don't already, you could get it this way:
on appleEvent theClass,theID
answer theClass && theID
end appleEvent
Then have the other app send an appleEvent to your stack and see what it
answers. Once you know the class and ID, you can adjust the handler to
work with the ones you want to catch.
