How to get the value of a slider in ApplescriptObjC?

Question

property slider : missing value if slider's integerValue = 5 then -- Do something end if

This code won't work. Any ideas why?

Answer 1

log class of slider's integerValue returns something called __NSCFNumber

log class of 5 returns <NSAppleEventDescriptor: 'long'>

Looks like Applescript does not automatically convert the values for you. To get it working a (strange looking) conversion will do it:

if slider's integerValue as integer = 5 then
    -- Do something
end if
