How can I call a script saved in applescript bundle?
An how to pass information on to it?
I want to do this as I have handlers in the script that are quite large and want to keep separate from the main script, can this be done?

Hmm Still struggling,
I have it saved as a script bundle, then in the resources it is saved down
In my script i use
set linkLayers to path to resource "linkLayers.scpt"
but then I don't know how to call it?
as a handler I was using it like this
my linkLayers(brandGroup, userName, textName, itemType, BorderIncrease)
What about:
tell script "linkLayers"
linkLayers(brandGroup, userName, textName, itemType, BorderIncrease)
end tell
Probably need to use the "my" qualifier before your handler.
Hello
You'd need to use load script. Like this.
set lib to load script (path to resource "linkLayers.scpt") tell lib linkLayers(brandGroup, userName, textName, itemType, BorderIncrease) end tell

I've just given that a go, but I get this.
error "The variable lib is not defined." number -2753 from "lib"
Should I be including something in the script that I am trying to activate?
Ok that was my error above I had a handler in a handler, so forgot to pass the information on.
However now I pass that stage I get this
error "«script» doesn’t understand the “addBorder” message." number -1708 from «script»
GOT IT!!
I didn't realise that i should save it as a handler still!
I had removed the on addBorder() etc.
Thanks
