In a bind w/ Applescript and Quicktime

Hello All,

I hate to come to a forum and ask, without being able to contribute first, but unfortunately I haven’t a choice (since it is a Sunday night, and a holiday and no book stores are open) .

What I’m trying to do is: open quicktime, set movie to play full screen and loop continuously.

I thought I had this concurred via Automator, but in-between the loops, the window shrinks only to resize, thus exposing the desktop, and this is unacceptable.

I’m totally new to scripting, and all I’ve been able to figure out is how to open quicktime, nothing else.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Will this work for you?

tell application "QuickTime Player"
	activate
	tell front movie
		set looping to true
		present
	end tell
end tell

Something like

tell application "QuickTime Player"
	set movie1 to movie 1
	present movie1
	movie1 play
	set looping of movie1 to true
end tell

**edit bruce beat me there, both seem to work

Excellent. Thank you both so much. This has truly saved my rear.
