Why not use System Events to check for the existence of the window?
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "MaxMSP"
set windowRef to (a reference to window "Save")
if (exists windowRef) then
click button "Save" of windowRef
end if
end tell
end tell
What's the reference to window 0, though? This can't be right, since all AppleScript indexes are based at 1...

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
