Turn Off / Airport / Menu Item

Question

Hello,
I try to make an applescript to turn off Airport by menu items
I've try this (see below) but it doesn't work on Leopard (french version).
I've already turn off "Enable Access for assistive devices" in Universal Access.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Regards,
Grégoire
*tell application "System Events"*
*click menu bar item 1 of menu bar 1 of application process "SystemUIServer"*
*click menu item "Désactiver AirPort" of menu 1 of menu bar item 1 of menu bar 1 of application process "SystemUIServer"*
*end tell*

Answer 1

The menu position isn't set so you can't assume a numerical index, but you can go through the menu items looking for the one you want. There was an earlier topic about scripting the Airport menu, so I just looked up some keys in the French localized strings. The "Enable Access for assistive devices" will need to be turned on, but the following script should do it:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFDDFF;
overflow: auto;"

tell application "System Events" to tell process "SystemUIServer"
tell menu bar 1
set menu_extras to value of attribute "AXDescription" of menu bar items
repeat with the_menu from 1 to the count of menu_extras
if item the_menu of menu_extras is "Menu supplémentaire AirPort" then tell menu bar item the_menu
click
delay 0.5
click menu item "Activer AirPort" of front menu
-- click menu item "Désactiver AirPort" of front menu
delay 0.5
end tell
end repeat
end tell -- menu bar 1
end tell
</pre>
