hey again. as april fools aproaches closer and closer, i am preparing a
disk containing a file (the prank) and a script telling the Finder to copy
the prank to the starup folder of the computer the disk is running in.
my only problem is i want to make the file invisible -- either through
ResEdit or Funk Monkey (3rd Party, very cool.) -- but then the script can
find where the file is and my whole path string becomes useless. here's
what i have:
--begin script
on run
tell application "Finder"
move file "suprise - 10 min. (PPC)" of (* invisible
*) folder "data" of
disk "Surprise!" to folder "Startup Items" of folder "System Folder" of
startup disk
end tell
end run
--end script
how can i tell applescript to open an invisible file
effectively? moreover, how can i make a file invisible that applescript
will be able to find?
tia,
jason
