- Thread-topic: Open a Movie from AppleScript?
Hi all,
I'm new to this group, but have developed an interest in AppleScript since the release of the Ericsson Clicker for OSX (
http://homepage.mac.com/jonassalling/Shareware/Clicker/index.html).
What I would like to do is open a movie (Quicktime) by calling its path in AppleScript - here is my current (unworking) attempt -
tell application "Quicktime Player"
activate
open "plaurens:Macintosh HD:Users:peterlaurens:Movies:DivX Movies:Contact"
end tell
Which should tell the movie 'Contact' to open in uicktime right? I've tried a lot of alternatives, such as 'open location' 'open file' 'tell Application "Finder"' etc etc but no joy.
What am I doing wrong?
-Peter
