Greetings,
I am a bit new to Applescript and need some help.
I have figured out how to make a simple script get Apple Video Player
to save a picture from a camera feed I have coming in to my composite
input.
tell application "Apple Video Payer"
save video
end tell
What I want to be able to do is to have it save a pict file every 30
seconds into a folder I have on the desktop (instead of the folder
where the application resides). I can live with the editor telling
me:
Expected end of line but found ".
when I use: save video in folder "Mac OS 8.6:Desktop:picts", but
would really like to know how to tell the script to wait 30 seconds
and save another image. I have scanned the _Applescript Language
Guide_ but have not been able to find anything related to delay,
wait, or time (except timeout) commands.
Any assistance would be appreciated!
