Has anyone used the appscript modual for python rather than streight AS?

Question

I just discovered appscript and so far I like what I see. has anyone used it?
Does it just wrap around actual applescript commands which it then sends to osascript with a system call or does it use the message system directly? Is there anything that it has not yet implemented that might cause problems?
To me it seems to be a perfect solution to the clutter that AS seems to be... at least from someone coming from more traditional languages.

Answer 1

In startMovie, you need to register the xtra
on startMovie
axRegister(serial code here)
end
Then, on your Record Button, something like this:
on mouseUp me
--start recording session - using 400k as maximum here
errOpen=axOpenRecorder(400000)
--see if there is an error
put errOpen
--save the new audio as a file
errRecord=axRecordSoundToFile("soundName","c:\path\to\soundfile.wav")
--see if there is an error
put errRecord
end
then make sure you close the recorder in stopMovie
on stopMovie
axCloseRecorder()
end
You can also make a Stop Recording button that has code like
this:
on mouseUp me
errStop=axStopRecording()
put errStop
end
