Nearly all scripts have one thing in common: they contain references to scriptable objects. For example, a script that rotates all the images in a folder contains references to the image files to be rotated. A script that adds annotations to a group of QuickTime movies contains references to the movie files to be edited. A script that applies formatting to the paragraphs in a story contains references to the targeted paragraphs.
