Thanks Chris.


Although I could have just closed the window, I actually ended up using a combination…


tell application "QuickTime Player 7"

activate

delay 3

if document "Apple QuickTime" exists then

close document "Apple QuickTime"

set show welcome movie automatically to false

end if

end tell

Can I right a simple script to set the QuickTime Player 7 preference that would turn the "Show Content Guide automatically" off?

Hey Karlton,

Here's a few breadcrumbs:

tell application "QuickTime Player 7"
set show welcome movie automatically to false
end tell

tell application "QuickTime Player 7"
first document whose name is not "Apple QuickTime"
end tell

tell application "QuickTime Player 7"
if document "Apple QuickTime" exists then
close document "Apple QuickTime"
end if
end tell

Just FYI:

I found the property very quickly searching the dictionary for "automatic" with Script Debugger.
I got there pretty easily in the Applescript Editor's dictionary search.
And I was also able to find it easily with Smile.
