>>> Is it possible to automate screen sharing using AS? I'd like to open
up to five screens at once so as to supervise a class without having to open
each computer separately. The dictionary says that I can open an alias, the
script merely replies "Missing Value"
Peter,
If you're using Remote Desktop, this works:
tell application "Remote Desktop"
set myComputers to computers of computer list "Web Displays"
observe item 1 of myComputers
tell window 1
(observe myComputers)
end tell
close window 1
activate
end tell
It's a tiny bit convoluted because I didn't see a way to open an observing
window without computers or observe multiple computers without opening a new
window or open a new window with multiple computers. So this script opens a
window observing a computer then adds all the computers to that list, which
opens a second new window with the first computer, which is then closed.
There may be a simpler way, but this works it's quick and the script does
all the work.
HTH,
ES
