There is no "name" property of a menu item. It should be 'set y to title of
menu item....'

That would certainly explain Irwin's "NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4" error, Bill.


Were you referring to Photoshop CS2 specifically? I ask because most application processes I've tested appear to have both a title and a name property (usually with the same value). For example, a quick poll of a few processes gives me this:

----------------

tell application "System Events"
set l to application processes where it is not background only
repeat with p in l
set p's contents to name of menu item 1 of menu 1 of menu bar item 2 of p's menu bar 1
end repeat
end tell
l
