Way to open list of .scpt files and save them as app bundle

Hi,

i do have a big list of .scpt files which i do need to save as Application Bundle from time to time (without start screen)

So right now i am wondering what might be the best way to handle that task.
I was thinking about automator or an applescript droplet ... any other ideas or even some code ideas ?

Best regards

my droplet code right now looks like this:

on open names
set myFileCounter to 0 as integer
repeat with this_item in names
set myFileCounter to myFileCounter + 1
set myPosixPath to quoted form of POSIX path of this_item
set myASPath to this_item
tell application "Script Editor"
activate
open this_item
-- HERE I MISS THE CODE TO SAVE THE .SCPT as APPLICATION BUNDLE WITHOUT START-PAGE
quit
end tell
end repeat
display dialog "You dropped: " & myFileCounter & " files to the droplet"
end open

any ideas how to realize the save as part ?
Best regards

When I first looked at this it seemed like some mode changes needed to be made to the resulting package. What was the solution? Is it as convoluted as it looked like?

Hi,

sorry i was on another computer while closing some of my open points:

in short:

save document myFilename1 as "application bundle" in file myFilename3 without startup screen

did the job - I hope that covers your question.
