In the Script Editor window it works flawlessy, but If I try to
execute the script from the Script Menu when I am in a TextEdit
document, for example, it doesn't work.
It works only inside Script Editor.
Andrea,
This is a known issue with some cocoa apps. They will not respond to
scripts run on script menu.
So, provided you do not run it from script menu when TE s the active
application, I believe it will work!
No, it works *only* in Script Editor if I run it with the Run command
(Apple + R).
It's very annoying...
It's necessary to follow Andrew's original advice and bring the target
application to the front. This works here:
set myText to "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"
tell application "System Events"
set frontmost of process "TextEdit" to true
keystroke myText
end tell
