System Events OK Button Problem


  • Subject: System Events OK Button Problem

I'm trying to script an InDesign dialog response for which there is no direct application access (the "Convert to Profile.." command), so I'm using System Events. I've got everything working, except that none of the approaches for accepting and dismissing the dialog is working (as commented below).

What's my problem here? (OS 10.6.8)

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
	activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
	tell application process "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
		set vEditMenu to menu "Edit" of menu bar 1
		set vConvertToProfileMenuItem to menu item "Convert to Profile..." of vEditMenu
		click vConvertToProfileMenuItem
		set vConvertToProfileDialog to window "Convert to Profile"
		tell vConvertToProfileDialog
			set vAppliedCMYK to pop up button 2
			click vAppliedCMYK
			keystroke "U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2" & return

			keystroke enter key --NOT WORKING
			--OR
			key code 36 --NOT WORKING
			--OR
			perform action "AXPress" of  button "OK" --NOT WORKING,
			--CONFIRMED THAT BUTTON AND ACTION EXISTS

		end tell
	end tell
end tell
