Hi Scripter,
I script the webcam application "macam" with the GUI SystemEvent
Scripting.
It works, but I want to save the image, but didn't find a possibilty to
script the "save" display dialog. Any ideas?
MacOS X.2.5, appleScript 2.0 beta, macam 0.8
if my do_menu("Macam", "Steuerung", "Bild aufnehmen") is false then
error number -128
on do_menu(app_name, menu_name, menu_item)
try
-- bring the target application to the front
tell application app_name
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
with timeout of 300 seconds -- 5 minutes
tell process app_name
tell menu bar 1
click menu item 2 of menu 5
click menu item 9 of menu 7
click menu item 5 of menu 3
end tell
-- How to script the open save dialog?
--tell (display dialog)
--click button "save"
--end tell
end tell
end timeout
end tell
return true
on error error_message
return false
end try
end do_menu
The appname, menu_name, menu_item is in german - I changed it in
numbers for an international use!
happy filemaking
Armin Egginger
