Louie,
This should work for other inaccessible apps on the status menu bar,
too. In fact, if you could modify this to switch from absolute screen
coordinates to coordinates relative to an app window, we could
probably get something working to play Audible samples (at least until
the next time they change the page layout).
Cheers,
Esther

The first thing to do is get the mouse tools.
If you read the web site you will learn how to use the tools.
You will need a sighted person to put the mouse on the dropbox icon.
Get the x y coordinates.
Open the apple script editor.
Copy the script from the e-mail and paste it into the apple script
editor.
Insert the coordinates.
Save the script as a application.
Thats it.

Hi all,
I have found a way to open the dropbox menu.
By using the mouse tools from:
[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://www.hamsoftengineering.com/codeSharing/MouseTools/MouseTools.html
The below apple script opens the dropbox menu on my Mac.
The x y coordinates may differ on your Mac.
-- move the mouse to the x/y coordinates (as measured from the top-
left part of the screen) and perform a mouse left-click
set mouseToolsPath to (path to home folder as text) &
"UnixBins:MouseTools"
set x to 763
set y to 17
do shell script quoted form of POSIX path of mouseToolsPath & " -x
" & (x as text) & " -y " & (y as text) & " -leftClick"
