Chapter 10 - Scripting Components / Scripting Components Reference

Application-Defined Routines

Your application can provide alternative active, send, and create functions for use by scripting components during script execution. All scripting components support routines that allow you to set and get the current active function called periodically by the scripting component during script execution. Some scripting components also support routines that allow you to set and get the current send and create functions used by the scripting component when it creates and sends Apple events during script execution.

This section provides the syntax declarations for the active, send, create, and resume dispatch functions. When a scripting component calls any of these functions, the A5 register is set up for your application, and your application is the current process.
