Hi

Any reason why this works

activate application "TextEdit"
tell application "System Events"
    tell process "TextEdit"
        tell menu bar 1
            tell menu bar item "Edit"
                click -- open Edit menu
                tell menu "Edit"
                    tell menu item "Copy"
                        click -- choose Copy command
                    end tell
                end tell
            end tell
        end tell
    end tell
end tell


And this does not. I get error message NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError:
4.
activate application "Illustrator 10.0.3"
tell application "System Events"
    tell process "Illustrator"
        tell menu bar 1
            tell menu bar item "Edit"
                click -- open Edit menu
                tell menu "Edit"
                    tell menu item "Copy"
                        click -- choose Copy command
                    end tell
                end tell
            end tell
        end tell
    end tell
end tell

I am just testing and learning UI scripting. I can get the edit/copy
keystrokes to work. What I want to do is in Illustrator - activate
Object - transform - scale.. menu using the tell block or any other
method.

Thanks Ruby
