GUI applescripting FreeHand MX

Hi all,

ok, in FreeHand, when you are in the print dialog you can choose FreeHand MX in the popup and then click on the 'Advanced' button and you get a separate 'Print Setup' window.
phew.


On that print setup window there are 3 'tabs' on the right hand side, if you click on the third one you get a set of options that I need access to.

These 3 'tab' buttons appear to be custom jobs, they show up as 'unknown' in the UI programs Ive used to explore the window.

They do not seem to respond at all to the 'click' command as in:

tell ui element 2
click ui element 3
end tell

but interestingly they dont seem to respond to the 'click at' either:

tell application process "FreeHand MX"
click at x,y
end tell

this works for other controls on the window, but not for the specific tabs I am interested.

so...has anyone else solved this? is there anything more clever that I could try?

why doesn't the 'click at' command work? I was under the impression that it faked an actual mouse click at the system level? so does that really require that the control it is aimed at understand it?


thanks for any help.

Yours cheerfully,


Andrew Bush
