Someone here sent me the following code.
I need to set the screen brightness from the minimum to the maximum (slider pushed from the left to the right).
The script opens the screen pref. pane and stops.
Any suggestion, would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Bernard

-- Script --
set bValue to 0.8
tell application "System Preferences"
    activate
    set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.displays"
end tell
tell application "System Events" to tell process "System Preferences"
    
    tell radio button "Display" of tab group 1 of window 1 to if value is 0 then
        repeat until value is 1
            click
        end repeat
    end if
    
    tell slider 1 of group 2 of tab group 1 of window 1 to set value to bValue
end tell
tell application "System Preferences" to quit
-- End of script --
Which radio button are you targeting in the above?
On my computer, your script chokes on trying to get its value.

If you are trying to achieve some visual effect, perhaps could you consider some variation around the following one:

tell application "System Preferences"
    activate
    set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.displays"
end tell

tell application "System Events"
    tell process "System Preferences"
        tell slider 1 of group 2 of tab group 1 of window 1
            repeat with currV from 0 to 10 by
                set value to currV / 10
            end repeat
            set value to 0.5
        end tell
    end tell
end tell

tell application "System Preferences" to quit
HTH,
Axel
