AppleScript on Click Button in Dialog

How do I script ‘when this button is clicked, do this without closing the dialog’ ?

The solution is to loop the whole script, as in:
set loop to true
repeat while loop is true
set question to display dialog "dialog text" buttons {"Continue", "View Webpage", "Cancel"} default button "Continue" cancel button "Cancel"
set answer to button returned of question
if answer is equal to "Continue" then
set loop to false
--continue
end if
if answer is equal to "Do B" then
--code to open webpage
end if
end repeat

Unix command to click button on dialog box and close windows?

I administer an elementary school computer lab of 35 eMacs all with OS 10.4.7 and with ARD 3.0. Our network server configuration requires a mounted server on each desktop in order to administer certain software packages we use. Every morning at start-up I have to walk around and manually click "Connect" on the dialog boxes. Then, with this configuration, each time a server is mounted, it opens up a Finder Window on the host machine so I've got to walk around and close windows on all the machines. I'm sure there must be an AppleScript or Unix command that I can set up to do these two tasks but I've not found it (or learned how to write it) in a few days of searching. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dan

OK guys,
I just succeeded in saving the AppleScript command as an application. I put it in the Login Items just after the servers. It worked beautifully! No more open windows exposing sensitive files to the risks of elementary students (how come the mounted volumes always appear on the desktop even when the "hide" button is checked?). It would be great if the mounted volumes were not showing at least in a setting like a school computer lab.
Now, I'm still dealing with the mounting process requiring me to manually click on "Connect" every time. The Student account doesn't even have a password just to make such things easier. Still the process displays this:
(Oh well, I guess I can't insert a ScreenShot.)
Here's what it says: Connect to the file server "server name."
Connect as: Registered User
Name: "account name"
√Remember password in keychain
(and then two buttons) Cancel or Connect
That's where I'm at right now. My district Tech. Support folks say that there's no way to avoid the dialog box but John seems to do it OK. They also pointed me to an online source (www.bombich.com) that I haven't yet checked out.
Thanks again,
Dan

Click button applescript statement bug in CS4?

I tried to GUI script the Photoshop CS4. Click button statement does not work for me on any of Photoshop CS4 dialogs.
Here is an example script:
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS4"
    activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
    tell process "Adobe Photoshop CS4"
        click menu item "New..." of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
        delay 1
        click button "Cancel" of window "New"
    end tell
end tell
The same script works perfectly in CS6, but not working in CS4. Is it a known issue?
Thank you.

GeorgePowell,
> Yeh I have already done that. The whole button has the
instance
> name "button", have you downloaded the fla to see for
your self?
I downloaded your file and am able to reproduce the error
message you're
seeing. I'll have to dig into it more to determine what's
going on, but it
*might* be something related to the way CS4 handles "Export
in first frame"
in the component's properties dialog box.
Interestingly, I can save your file for CS3, open it in
Flash CS3, and
compile it just fine ... so it would appear that you might
indeed have
discovered a CS4-specific bug. I'll get in touch with someone
on the Adobe
Flash team today and share this file.
In the mean time, you can still experiment with the
principle of moving
from scene to scene -- as long as you don't use a component.
Instead, draw
a quick shape, convert it to a button symbol, and swap out
your component
button for the button symbol in both scenes. Make sure your
instance names
are in place, and it should work just fine for you (it does
for me with your
file).

Way to click button by name not number?

Hi folks,
I have put together an AppleScript that, at one stage, clicks the Continue button in a dialog window. There is also a Cancel button.
For some reason the buttons change number assignment. I am not sure why or how this is triggered. But sometimes the Continue button is button 1, and sometimes the Cancel button is button 1.
What I am wondering is if there is a way to refer to the buttons by their title rather than their order assignment? i.e. "Continue" and "Cancel".
The piece of code is this:
click button 1 of window 1
But sometimes button 1 ends up being button 2.

Okay. This was too easy. (I am relatively new to Applescript).
With a little more research (searching for the correct keywords this time) I discovered I can just directly refer to the buttons by their title.
Problem solved.

Make Applescript to click on box of active window

Hello,
I'm trying to write an AppleScript to automate my batch processing of images through Adobe Fireworks CS6. I can't seem to get the script to select the box at the bottom of the pop of window. I also have a few other windows that I would need to select certain things. I have this script so far.
tell application "Adobe Fireworks CS6"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Adobe Fireworks CS6"
click menu item "Batch Process..." of menu "File" of menu bar 1
delay 2
--First window
tell window 1
click checkbox 1 of window 1
end tell
delay 1
click button "Next" of window 1
delay 0.5
--Second window
click button "Export" of window 1
click button "Add" of window 1
tell the first combo box of window 1
delay 3
keystroke (ASCII character 106)
keystroke return
end tell
click button "Next" of window 1
delay1
click button "Batch" of window 1
end tell
end tell
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi
Give this a go, this is ugly but works on a drop window I have that requires a user name and password, with buttons cancel and ok, change the amount of keystroke tabs to suit your set up
activate application "Firefox"
delay 3.5 -- allow app to open, change delay to suit
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Firefox"
keystroke tab
keystroke tab
keystroke tab
keystroke return
end tell
end tell

OBIEE report with Click button ( want to perform some actions)

Hi Experts,
My users want to make adhoc changes to an OBIEE report where I want to place a click button at the bottom of the report. Once the changes are done, They want to click the button so that the most current logical sql is captured and then it takes to another http url .
If any one have worked or has any ideas on this, Please share. Thanks in Advance.
S

Hi S,
Can you elaborate on what you mean by capturing the most current logical SQL?
What you are asking is only going to be as difficult as it is to perform the above action. The button and the navigate are simple.
John Minkjan shows you how to make a clear button here.
Basically you leverage the OBIEE class XUIPromptEntry minibuttonOn.
Here's the code (NOTE: You have to change the curly brackets to angular brackets):
{div class="XUIPromptEntry minibuttonOn"}{a href="#" onclick="return PersonalizationEditor.removeDefaultSelection(false)"}Clear{a}{div}
You can take this and modify it slightly to fit your purpose:
{div class="XUIPromptEntry minibuttonOn"}{a href="(URL to move to)" onclick="(javascript function that performs your task)"}Do Action Button{a}{div}
In the above, you will put the URL you want to navigate to in the (URL to move to) area. Then in the onclick function, you're going to want to write a javascript function that captures the latest logical SQL and have OBIEE call that function.
All that being said, this effort hinges on whether or not a javascript function can perform your task.
If you can elaborate on what you mean, I might be able to get you started on that function.
Good luck and if you found this post useful, please award points!
Best regards,
-Joe

How can I go to other page when click button??

When I click button, the process of this button is be executed, then current page will go to other page.
1.I setup this button's Optional URL Redirect to other page, but process is not be executed.

please help me if you know it! Thanks a lot!

Configuration in the branche:
Target type: Page in Application
Page: The Page you want to redirect to.
On clicked Button: The Button you created on the page which redirects to the next page
Hope i could help.

In the Firefox browser, when i click button in ADF page, then popup the OAF page in iframe tag,and then when i click the PPR bean in OAF page, then Firefox browser reload to ADF page. This is not the right response,browser should not reload the ADF page.It should stays in OAF page or goto another OAF page. and in other browser such ad IE,We get the right response.

hello, normally such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions. please remove all program rules for firefox from your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.

Can't open an Executable From Click Button

Hi, Everyone!
I've broken a learning module into several small project
files to match the client's standards. I've set up click buttons
within each file to open each of the published movies for the
module. Everything works as expected.
Now I need to create a standalone course using the same
files. I've published each file as a Standalone executable. I've
modified the open action on the click buttons to "Open URL or File"
and selected the appropriate .exe file as the target. I've
republished the files with the new click action. When I open an
executable and click a button to open another executable, I get an
error message stating that the page cannot be displayed.
What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Bob Browne

Hi Bob
For starters, did you try simply exporting all related files
as .EXE files and test that way before making any changes? If so,
what were your results? I've seen before where once Captivate was
successfully linking to another movie, simply changing from .SWF to
.EXE format just worked.
Just a thought... Rick

ICal failing to run applescripts: The 'Open' button does not change to 'Run', and the script file is opened but not executed on alert.

iCal failing to run applescripts: The 'Open' button does not change to 'Run', and the script file is opened but not executed.

Calendar (not called iCal anymore) does not include that capability any longer, apparently. What you have to do now is go to Automator and create a Calendar Alert action. You can add a Run AppleScript object to the action and paste in your script there, then when you save it, it will become available as a choice in the alert menu in Calendar.

The wheel click button does not open a new window since the latest update (9.0.1)

Hi
I just want to report this bug in hope it will be fixed asap
The wheel click button does not open a new window since the latest update (9.0.1)
Thank you

Middle-click or click the scroll-wheel on a hyperlink has always opened a '''new Tab'''. Any chance you had an add-on that changed that action, and now that add-on is disabled or incompatible?

Zooming a Finder Window (Clicking Button)

I am trying to zoom a window in the Finder but I can't make this script work. Basically I have a folder that I open up and I want to resize the window to fit the contents (just like hitting the Green button on a window in the Finder).
I get an error saying: "System Events got an error: NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4".
Here is my script so far:
+tell application "System Events"+
+tell process "Finder"+
+tell window 1+
+click button 2+
+end tell+
+end tell+
+end tell+
Can anyone see just what I am missing?
Am I going about this the wrong way? Been spending hours Googling for an answer to something that seems so simple.

Windows are numbered in the order that they are layered, with number 1 being the frontmost, 2 being the next one back, etc. When you click on an item in column view, you get a new column, not a new window. I am guessing that you have the Finder preference set to open folders in a new window, in which case double-clicking on a folder will open it in a new window. In that case the new (front) window will be number 1, and the previous front window will be number 2, although both will have the same name, which may be where the confusion is coming from. The name of a Finder window (whatever the number) is the currently selected folder, or in the case of files or multiple selections, the containing folder, so there can be several windows with the same name if they are targeted at the same folder.
