My question is, how limited is the recorder in the script editor? I'm trying to create a script where I open my system preferences and change some settings. If I perform finder actions it records, but in any other native mac application, it doesn't. Is this some kind of preference setting I might be missing? This isn't really what I do for a living, so I'm not looking to build a stand alone application (though I plan on learning slowly in my free time). Is something like this achievable, or is there another resource that could help me out with more basic information?

GUI scripting can be helpful when accessing system preferences..

also helpful is UI Inspector

There are also some examples on those links..
