I've been playing around with the new GUI additions to AS, and I'm *very*
happy. This was something that we had played with in OS 9 using Player Pro,
and we were sad they didn't have anything working for OS X.
I'm having trouble with one thing, and I was wondering if anyone has a
solution:
I'm trying to tell an application to save its document file to a certain
path, and maybe I'm doing it the hard way (it doesn't work):
on run
try
set theFolder to choose folder with prompt "Select target folder:"
open {theFolder}
on error
return
end try
end run
on open theFileList
set theTargetFolder to item 1 in theFileList
set theTargetFolderPath to the POSIX path of theTargetFolder
tell application "MyApp"
activate
end tell
try
tell application "System Events"
tell process "MyApp"
click menu item "Save As
" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
tell window "Save File"
set the value of text field 1 of UI element 9 of window
"Save File" to theTargetFolderPath
click button "Save"
end tell
end tell
end tell
on error
display dialog "ERROR: " & error_number
return false
end try
end open
NOTE: the application's Save As dialog doesn't have a Go To: field. Is this
the necessary element to make this work??
The Text Field 1 of UI Element 9 is the name of the file to save.
thanks
Jess
