Thread: Apple Script dictionary

  1. #1

    Apple Script dictionary

    I was look at the Apple Script dictionary of Pixel Mad , and I found only Quit command . can you add more ?

    It will be interesing to get "Play movie x" .

    I mean image to use a ical to say paxel mad to do something . just like play a movie at 08 00 pm .

    then by using a .mac ical it will possible to change the " play list " remotely by changning ical script recal .

    i don't ask to add a full dctionary . just few basic commands like play movie . Stop movie . or play cue stop cue - Things like this .

    thanks

    PS

    same for Cat and Samsc

    After all I found a good way to use Apple iCal to recal some preset .

    Code:
    set CR to ASCII character of 13
    tell application "System Events"
    	try
    		tell application "Pixelmad_v2_f56_UB" to activate
    		keystroke "A"
    		keystroke "1" using {control down}
    		
    	end try
    end tell

    To use Apple iCal to Manage the pixelmad / catalyst preset open Apple script application . It's in your application folder .

    Copy paste the code and change the parameters as you need .

    then save the Apple Script and name it Catpreset1 if you set it to lunch preset one .

    Once you done that open iCal
    Make a new Calendary Called Catalyst Control ( or chose a name as you like )
    Make a new Event in iCal and tell iCal to execute the Apple script Catpreset1

    if you do so you will be able to control different catalyst preset by using iCal .

    I wrote an apple script to start-up catalyst (to avoid menu bar) and in an older version of V4 - the HUD didn't remember its last state - ie HUD on or off (in current version it does now....)

    I wrote a script that started catalyst - then simply sent a key press (w) to display the HUD on o/p 1.

    (Catalyst delay loader silent 3+HUD-4.02_m40Pro.app)

    In this way - you could use the same script (with a bit of an edit) to send a key press to start a preset after catalyst or pixelmad starts-up.

    By doing your ical thing - i guess you can then execute presets at different times.

    However - can you not use the 'show control' cuelist to do the same thing??? By putting cues in at real-time values?

    iThere ! it's not for me . I wanna give customers the simplest way to control the pixelmad .
    image the pixel mad used in a Hotel . where they don't need to know nothing about it . Just say colour Red/White .

    iCal or the mozzila one . by using a simple app the customer will be able to control easely the " show " .

    Also Real Time Value can't be edited .

    If you use iCal you can easely change remotely the " play list " by moving the time and date using .mac .

    the idea it's to have pixelMad/cat hide and make an IDIOT PROF control of the " show "

    After all why not making the apple script dictionary ?

    I don't know how much does it cost to be write . But every good apple app got a simple apple script dictionary .

    By Making it for PM/CAT/SaMSC the apps will emprove so much .
