Hi James,

Bridge doesn't support AppleScript, so JavaScript is the only option.
But you can run JS in Bride from AS via another Adobe application, for example, InDesign using BridgeTalk.

A couple of years ago I did an experiment in Xcode 2.2. The goal was to create a simple interface with Interface Builder � a window with 5 buttons grouped into 2 panels. The buttons have an AS attached to them. And this AS, in turn, triggers a JS from InDesign to Bridge, using BridgeTalk, and sending some parameters in variables. The JS in Bridge writes some metadata and sets label.

To demonstrate the approach I�ll post the script in the next post.
