I have a variable defined in FM ScriptMaker. I then need to reference that FM variable as part of a native AppleScript step. Is this possible?

I think you should think opposite, the $variable could be used to build a customised applescript based on a field.

Thanks for your reply, but I'm using the variable in a previous ScriptMaker step. Any thoughts?

It will survive as long as the scripting goes on, this means that you in the next step writes the applescript in a field and then follows with a perform applescript based on this fields value, often is all it takes to make a series of on statements as template for the script and then put the parameters value in the very end of the ad hoc created AS.

Should I make you a template??

Please do. I'm AppleScript illiterate.

Apparently isn't there need for a field any more - cool!!

I've made you a template where you in my lack of fantasy enters a number of records you wish the applescript to make in a global field - this is transfered to the $variable before the dedicated scripting goes on.
