[Pythonmac-SIG] appscript and filemaker

[Karsten Wolf]

Hi,


I'm new to python & appscript and try to control some FileMaker 9  
databases.

I'd like to handle container fields (CF).

Getting these in appscript is a little more difficult than in other  
scripting languages. When getting a record as a list, a CF shows up  
as <CarbonX._AE.AEDesc object at 0xf5d8>. Accessing this list item  
yields nothing; AEDesc.data='', AEDesc.type='tdta'.

Accessing the CF in a separate request gives the correct data;  
AEDesc.data='some binary stuff' and AEDesc.type='PICT'

So far so good.

How do I write PICT (or any other image type) data into a CF?
