Hi List,
I'm trying to write a script that will change the screen resolution
and colours from what ever it is set to currently to 1024x640 and the
colours to thousands. I am trying to run a program called Gravitation
Ltd. 5.0 under classic in Panther. Admittedly, I am struggling with
this due to my lack of ability with AppleScript. This is what I have
so far:
tell application "System Preferences"
tell pane "displays"
set resolutions to "1024 x 640"
end tell
tell pane "displays"
set colors to "thousands"
end tell
end tell
open application "Gravitation Ltd. 5.0"
If I try to run it, it gives me an error of "System Preferences got an
error: NSCannotCreateScriptCommandError" If I remove the part of the
script where I try to change the colors to thousands, that error goes
away, but it still doesn't execute the script successfully. My
overall goal with this is to save it as an application so that the
grade 1 to 3's will be able to launch this without having to do
anything else with any preferences. If anyone out there might be able
to suggest where I am going wrong, it would be greatly appreciated.
What display do you have that has a native resolution of 1024x640?
Perhaps you're trying to switch to an unsupported rez... you sure you
didn't mean 1024x768?
