Thanks for the replies guys. What I would like to do, may be a lot
simpler than what i may have explained. I just want my app to launch
the quicktime movie, in what looks like exactly like the finder
quicklook window - in fact if its possible to even somehow do it
with an applescript or something - i.e. just tell finder to launch
it! Is that possible?
I'm pretty sure that can't be done with AppleScript unless
accessibility is turned on.
GUI Scripting is crude and brittle and really a last resort when all
else fails. Unfortunately, there's nothing in Finder's scripting API
for invoking quicklook (its 'open' command just opens files in the
default editor, equivalent to double-clicking them), so it may be the
OP's only hope if they _really_ must have it. Though FWIW, GUI
Scripting is just a wrapper around OS X's existing accessibility APIs,
so going through AppleScript isn't really necessary at all.
It may be easier to just use QTMovieView.
Yeah, I think this would be the simplest and most reliable solution.
(And by all means file feature requests on Finder for 10.6; its
scripting interface is lagging its graphical one a bit these days.)
