System Events not working


  • Subject: System Events not working
  • From: "Robert C. Jacobson" <email@hidden>

I just installed System Events 1.2, and enabled Universal Access, in Mac OS X 10.2.4.

However, the example in the UI Element Inspector (reproduced below) doesn't work quite right. When I run the script from Script Editor, I get a system beep. Nothing happens in the Finder until I click on the menu bar -- at that point the command (minimize window) takes effect.


tell application "System Events"
tell process "Finder"
tell menu bar 1
click menu item "Minimize Window" of menu "Window"
end tell
end tell
end tell

Am I missing something real basic here?
