Okay, Now I'm stuck again. It succesfully finds all the Skype functions from the framework (or at least all the ones I've tried). The problem now is repeated crashes (log below) whenever I call fn SetSkypeDelegate (delegate ) which is : // glue to call framework function local fn SetSkypeDelegate ( aDelegate as ^SkypeDelegate ) beginassem lwz r12,^gSetSkypeDelegate ;this is the pointer from the framework mtspr ctr,r12 mr r31,r2 bctrl mr r2,r31 endassem end fn // void I tried calling as err = fn SetSkypeDelegateR (delegate ) I wondered how SetSkypeDelegate in the framework would know where to find the delegate structure so I also tried (guessed) it as: local fn SetSkypeDelegate( aDelegate as ^SkypeDelegate ) beginassem lwz r12,^gSetSkypeDelegate mr r3,^aDelegate mr r31,r2 mtspr ctr,r12 mr r31,r2 bctrl mr r2,r31 endassem end fn The other functions don't crash but of course they can't do anything or return anything until I get SetSkypeDelegate to hook up. One interesting note: On further reflection I suspect the reason fixing the plist yesterday didn;t work sooner is because there was a copy of the file cached somewhere in the file system. When I replaced the API framework with a fresh copy it immediately found the functions int he framework. Lesson learned: When fiddling with files be sure to copy-duplicate-etc. to get a fresh copy in the cache. BTW: Robert, I'm already using the poke long event thing with a value of 60. Any more and it won't run the applescript often enough catch a call without a long delay. I think the problem is just the applscript interface to Skype isn't very fast so it hangs out there for 5-7 ticks before coming back. russp A very repeatable Crash log from SetSkypeDelegate. Line 2 is the FB routine discussed above. Line 1 is in the Skype API. I don't know what line 0 is but a Google search shows that exact error in a lot a crash logs posted on the internet. 0 libobjc.A.dylib 0x908611ec objc_msgSend + 0xc 1 com.skype.skypeframework 0xd000371c SetSkypeDelegate + 0x8c (SkypeAPI-Carbon.mm:173) 2 0x000ef340 SetSkypeDelegate + 0x28 3 0x000ef5e4 0xb6040 + 0x395a4 4 FB^3.Carbon.Runtime 0x000ad458 main + 0x1f8 ___________________________________________________________ Fidelity Communications Webmail - http://webmail.fidnet.com
