Applescript field variable troubleshooting help

[GMat]

Hi,

 

I'm having problems with an applescript that tells Phone Amego to initiate a phone call.

 

I've got it to work with a phone number hard coded into the script, but I can't get Filemaker to insert the field's content (phone number) into the script.

 

Table name: PhoneAmego test

Telephone number field (text): PhoneNumberGen

 

Mac OSX Mountain Lion

Filemaker 11 adv.

 

The plain applescript is:

 

 

tell application "Phone Amego"

getURL "tel:555-555-xxxx"

end tell

 

I tried to write a calculated applescript:

 

 

"tell application "Phone Amego"¶

getURL "tel: (PhoneAmego test::PhoneNumberGen) "¶

end tell"

 

It will launch Phone Amego and display the screen pop, but it shows the number it's trying to dial as "PhoneAmego test::PhoneNumberGen". No call goes through.

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks in advance!

Try:

 

"tell application "Phone Amego"¶

getURL "tel: " & PhoneAmego test::PhoneNumberGen & " "¶

end tell"

It works!
