Chapter 10 - Scripting Components / Scripting Components Reference
Optional Scripting Component Routines

Compiling Scripts

Scripting components can provide three optional routines that get the name of a scripting component, compile a script, and update a script ID.

To obtain the name of a scripting component in a form that you can coerce to text, you can use the OSAScriptingComponentName function. The OSACompile function compiles source data and returns a script ID, and the OSACopyID function updates the script data associated with one script ID with the script data associated with another script ID.

A scripting component that supports the routines in this section has the kOSASupportsCompiling bit set in the componentFlags field of its component description record.
