| Hi--
Does anyone perchance know the proper syntax to get QuickTime Pro 7 to turn on captions?
(Manually, you'd click on View -> Show Closed Captioning ⌥⌘T)
QT's dictionary shows a property of the application which looks promising:
show closed captioning when available (boolean) : show closed captioning (when supported by content)
However, a naîve interpretation...
tell application "QuickTime Player 7" set show closed captioning when available to true end tell
...doesn't seem to do anything.
This works:
tell application "System Events" tell process "QuickTime Player 7" set frontmost to true keystroke "t" using {command down, option down} end tell end tell
But it makes QT frontmost, which mars my script's generality. Also, ⌥⌘T is a toggle. If you do it again, it turns captions off.
Any ideas?
