Hi all,

I am trying to create an apple script to check if a window with the name "Save" exists in a particular application. If the "Save" window appears it will 'save' and 'replace' the file in a particular folder.  I am assuming i will use GUI scripting. this is what i have so far. Thanks for any ideas in advance.  tim

on idle
tell application "MaxMSP"
if (window "Save" exists) then -- THIS LINE DOES NOT WORK
tell application "MaxMSP"
activate
end tell


tell application "System Events"
click button "Save" of window "Save" of application process "MaxMSP"
end tell


tell application "MaxMSP"
activate
end tell


tell application "System Events"
click button "Replace" of window 0 of application process "MaxMSP"
end tell


end if
end tell
return 5 -- do this every 5 seconds
end idle
