Level Indicator Beautification

Scripting Forums AppleScript Studio & Xcode
#1

Hi All,
i was wondering if anyone would know how to make the level indicator look like the one in iTunes. I changed it to a “rating” type, but i’d like to be able to see the dots when stars arent selected, and from what i’ve seen i can’t do it. i thot that perhaps usingng Major Ticks would do it, but they dont seem to do anything for me…

thanks,
Z

Model: PowerBook G4

k, i figured out the iTunes look-alike, but i cannot actually set the value of it, nor get the value of it.

i tried this

tell window "id3"
	set the value of level indicator "rate" to (theRating / 20)
end tell

gave me an error, saying that an identifier can’t go after this property (and it highlights ‘level indicator’)

thx for any help,
Z

Hi PurpleTurtle,

Try this:

tell window "id3"
	set double value of control "rate" to (theRating / 20)
end tell
