macOS Applescript Troubles in Xcode 3.0

[Heli0s38]

Hello,

i'm having some issues with xcode 3 and AppleScript.


i'm making a Doc-based Applescript app (a simple web browser for a friend's mac thats pretty old.)

i added a menu called "Tools" and it was labeled in applescript "mnuTools" and a menu item "Download Manager" labeled in applescript "mnuDownload"

i havent entered in the code for what it should do when clicked, i just wanted to make sure it worked first, but when i run it i get an error.

"The specified object is a property, not an element. (-10008)"

ive tried numerous methods of fixing this. am i missing something? here is the code.

on choose menu item theObject
	if theObject is menu item "mnuDownload" of menu "mnuTools" then
		display dialog "its working"
	end if  
end choose menu item

and everything seems to check out in IB.

This worked for me: in IB with the "Download Manager" menu item selected, go to Tools > AppleScript Inspector and give it a name "mnuDownload". Then change your code to:

on choose menu item theObject
    if name of theObject is "mnuDownload" then
        display dialog "its working"
    end if
end choose menu item
