I almost certain that you're not going to have any joy going down this (applescript) path but to script the normally 'unscriptable' app in OSX you need to: (i) turn on 'enable access for assistive devices' in the 'universal access' pane of 'system preferences' (ii) get a copy of 'UI Element Inspector' (available from the Apple web site) or even better 'UI Browser' (from PreFab software - www.prefab.com) so that you can 'inspect' whatever it is you're trying to capture (iii) use the info you get back from (ii) to construct some foxy Applescript

My feeling is that a Java applet wont even register but if you want to try it then use Safari rather than Firefox as the latter's interface gets rendered as a single non-deconstructable (surely that isn't a word) object.

Cheers,

Dennis,

Yeah, it must be safari or that fact it is a web app. I did successfully record a menu item and screen button in a non apple scriptable app but was nervous with that as a solution cause the button/window could be moved.

Will keep looking.

Tom,

I was surprised that it did not, but the docs says that it will not do that. If I clicked in the Finder areas, it only recorded that I selcted the Finder. It did not record anything when I clicked on other applications. I thought Safari would have been more scriptable.

Dennis,

The recording function -- Are you able to at least record a click at the button location?

I also tried Automator and tried the recording function in Applescript Studio, but no good.
