I’ve been banging my head against this one all morning. I’ve got a horizontal slider in a window in my apllescript cocoa app and I’ve given it an applescript name and connected it to my applescript with on action and in my applscript in the on action handler I have the following:
on action theObject
if name of theObject is "MySlidersApplescriptName" then
set MyVariable to value of theObject
end if
end action
that throws a coersion failure error -1700
I tried set MyVariable to current value …
won’t compile,
tried currentvalue
treats currentvalue as a variable name so that’s not it
tried value of cell of theObject
got same -1700 error
yeah applescript is an english language but you can guess forever and not figure out exactly what words it’s expecting.
I looked it up at apple’s developer site and the best page I found about sliders was:
Tons of info there about sliders which was cool but nothing about getting the value of a slider.
So I’m resorting to posting my question in here.
