How to spot to playhead with simple script?

Hi there,
Using Applescript, I’m trying to spot an audio file to the playhead of the open multitrack document. Although I’m struggling, it’s probably very simple. I've tried doing it in Soundtrack Pro then saving as an Applescript, but for some reason the option is grayed out. I’m wondering, what is the script for this?
Script so far (which compiles and runs with no errors, but appears to change nothing in Soundtrack Pro).
tell application "Soundtrack Pro"
tell audio track of multitrack document {name:Untitled}
spot "Users:dk:Desktop:_Current Assets:Track 7 Recording 1.aiff"
end tell
end tell
I’m an AppleScript and Soundtrack Pro newbie : (. Thank you very much for your help!

Ah, I see. Yes, maybe a misunderstanding.
The purpose is actually to generate audio tracks ~10 minutes in length which compile in sequence 10-20 short clips of speaking in different orders with some silence added between each. There are many audio tracks of this type to generate.
So spotting a track to the playhead is actually just a small piece of a bigger script.
I wrote a script that did the trick in another audio program but the program has no Applescript dictionary so, using system events for commands, my computer is untouchable for 10-20 minutes at a time for each track generated!
So, back to that script... how can I spot a track to the playhead using Applescript?
Thanks for your help!

  • Help with simple script

    I was wondering if someone could help me with a simple bit of action script 3. I need to make a movie clip (single_mc) disappear when the user clicks on the mouse (stop_btn). Here’s what I have so far.
    function setProperty(event:MouseEvent):void
    single_mc.alpha=0;
    stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setProperty);
    Also I was wonder if you could recommend an Action script 3 book for me. I would like one that is not a training book, but has situations and then the script written out. For example: I click a button and a movie symbol disappears from the stage. I am a graphic artist, that from time to time, needs simple interaction in flash, but cant justify the time to learn the script.
    Thanks for your time

    use the snippets panel to help with you with sample code for basic tasks.
    function setProperty(event:MouseEvent):void
    single_mc.visible=false;
    stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setProperty);

  • Changing a Spot Color Swatch with a script

    I have about 150 files where I need to replace a Pantone color with another.
    So far I've been able to rename the old color, delete it and add the right one. But I cant find any info on how to change an existing color without messing up the existing art work (if I rename it, it converts the spot color to CMYK).
    For example I could rename it:
    i if ( app.documents.length > 0 &&
    i app.activeDocument.swatches.length > 0 ) {
    i var lastIndex = app.activeDocument.swatches.length - 1;
    i var lastSwatch = app.activeDocument.swatches[lastIndex];
    i lastSwatch.name = "Pantone 414 C";
    i }
    But that doesn't change it to 414 C. If you have any idea, I would be very grateful...
    Regards Simon

    Why not change it in Illustrator?
    Since you're using Creative Cloud you should be aware that the new
    applications will not install on Windows XP. The minimum configuration
    is Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.

  • Problem with simple script tutorial

    In comparing and trying to replicate visibility functionality via scripting, I downloaded ChangingVisualObjectProperties.pdf to work on while going through the Scripting Basics PDF from Adobe. However, what should be a simple task has proved vexing.
    In a word, I can't get a button to change the visibility of a textfield object. I even went to the extreme of setting my file up to be identical in structure and naming convention to the tutorial file. Next, I did screen grabs of all the important property settings for the tutorial file and replicated that in my file. And finally, copied and pasted the actual bit of JS from the tutorial to my example. All to no avail.
    Attached are two files. The first is the sample script tutorial from Adobe's site entitled ChangingVisualObjectProperties.pdf. I've included it simply to make it easy for anyone who wants to compare the tutorial to my sample file. The button in question is CheckBox7.
    My file is called MyChangingVisProps.pdf and contains only two objects, CheckBox7 and TextField.
    If someone could tell me what I'm missing, I will be very grateful!

    Well, I just found the answer in another post.... File-> Save As and choose Dynamic XML Form!
    Is there some reason this doesn't take effect when setting options in the Properties dialog?? Talk about a GOTCHA moment!

    Hi Ethan,
    You are understanding ok
    We are working on SAP BPC NW version 7.0, SP05, and at the moment, it's impossible to update to SP08.
    We have done all the following tests, trying to find some solution, under these conditions (we knew that some tests weren't going to work well, but anyway, we had to try them):
    - always for only one product (*XDIM_MEMBERSET PRODUCT=Product1)
    - UNITS and UNITACCUM are ACCOUNT base members
    - UCostVtaAcumDimFor is an ACCOUNT Formula Base Member ([ACCOUNT].[UNITS],[MEASURES].[FYTD])
    - FYTD is a Measures base member for Fiscal Year To Date (we use it because we want to see as Year to Date (YTD) as Fiscal Year To Date (first month of the year is September and the last one is August) (it works well)) (We have also tested on YTD instead of FYTD, with the same results)
    (1)
    *XDIM_MEMBERSET TIEMPO=2010.FEB
    [ACCOUNT].[#UNITACCUM] = ([ACCOUNT].[UNITS],[MEASURES].[FYTD])
    *COMMIT
    Result: MEASURES not specified. Failed
    (2)

    Some more ideas?

  • How can I compile all functions, procedures and packages with a script?

    I need to compile all functions, procedures and packages of 5 schemas (users) with a script.
    How can I do it?
    Thanks!

    you can create a script to select all invalid objects in those schemas Since Oracle 8 introduced NDS this approach has struck me as a trifle old fashioned. It's much simpler to loop round the query in PL/SQL and use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE to fire off the DDL statements. No scripts, no muss, no fuss.
    Having said that, the problem with this approach and also with using DBMS_UTILITY.COMPILE_SCHEMA is that they do not compile all the invalid objects in dependency order. This may result in programs being invalidated by the subsequent compilation of dependencies. This is due to the introduction of Java into the database.
    The UTLRP script is much better, because it (usually) avoids cyclic references. But you still may need to run it more than once.
    In general it is better to avoid sledgehammer recompilations (like DBMS_UTILITY.COMPILE_SCHEMA, which starts by invalidating all the objects). If we have twenty invalid objects, nineteen of which are dependencies of the twentieth, we actually only need to recompile the master object, as recompiling it will trigger the recompilation of all the others.

    Hello
    Simple problem - don,t know how to solve it.
    With Premiere CC when I try to do a selection (click... drag... release the click) very often it stop way before the end of the move I'm swinging the Magic Mouse. I taught that the mouse clicking was defective and went to get a new Magic Mouse after lots of frustration. Today, I have an edit to do it it does the SAME thing !!
    I was like ????#$%?&*(???
    Opened all the lights and taught I've trow the new mouse to the garbage and was using the defective mouse again... no !! - ??
    Actually, the bran new mouse is doing the same thing. What I understand after investigating on the motion and watching carefully my fingers !! -  is that when I click I have to keep my finger at the EXACT same place on the mouse... drag and release and it's fine. If I click by pushing on the mouse and my finder is moving of a 1/32th of a millimeter, it will release and my selection will be to redo. You can understand my frustration ! - 75$ later... same problem, but I know that if I click with about 5 pounds of pressure and trying to pass my finger through the plastic of the mouse, it you stay steady and make it !
    The problem is that scrolling is enable while clicking and it bugs.
    How to disable it ??
    Simple question - can't find the answer !

    Helllooo !?
    sorry but the Magic Mouse is just useless with the new Adobe Premiere CC and since I'm not the only one but can't find answer this is really disappointing. This mouse is just fantastic and now I have to swap from a USB mouse to the Magic Mouse every times I do some editing. My USB mouse if hurting my hand somehow and I want to got back to the Magic Mouse asap. Please - for sure there is a simple solution !
    Thanks !!

  • HOW TO : Writing simple scripts in SQL Developer??

    Here is a simple script I run in SQL*Plus...
    the first SQL prints the QCSID, the second script prompts for a SID which is the QCSID from the first SQL... once provided it gives me the output I want...
    I just cannot do this in SQL DEVELOPER..... or Can I?
    select distinct qcsid from v$px_session;
    select sid,serial#,qcsid,qcserial#,degree,req_degree from v$px_session
    where qcsid in (select qcsid from v$px_session where sid='&sid');

    Ganesh,
    Simple substitution and defines work in SQL Developer scripts.
    I think the problem with running your script is that the first query results are not displayed before the window asking for the '&sid' value. That is the output to the 'screen output' tab is buffered and not synchronized with additional pop up (or dialog) windows. Is that correct?
    Currently:
    You can use substitution variables in the f5 'Run Script' but no bind variables.
    You can use bind variables in the f9 'Execute Statement' but no substitution statements.
    You can use anonymous PLSQL blocks, and packaged functions and procedures, so you can store per session state in PLSQL packages.

  • How to create a queue using CVP with ICM script(Comprehensive mode)

    Hello Guys,
    I would like to know how can I configure a queue in a comprehensive mode using micro-app at CVP + ICM environment. I work with UCCE at least 2 years, so I know how to create a queue using UCCX and/or IPIVR (I do a queue application using UCCX Editor and at ICM I use the Run external Script component), but at CVP I don't know how to create a application at Call Studio and how to call this application at ICM Script Editor to run this queue if there aren't agents available.
    Can someone help me to understand how can I do that?
    I attached the ICM Script using micro-app. This script runs ok, I call to a Route pattern and CVP route request ICM, so ICM run the script, but if there are no agents available the call drops, so I would like to know how can I create a queue to hold the call and to come back to a available agent.
    Regards,

    Out of the check mark in the queue to skill group node you go to another run external script node, then you loop into that over and over again until the call is answered.
