Scripting Forums AppleScript Studio & Xcode

Hi,
Is there a way i can have it so when the user hovers their mouse over an image well some code runs?
I tried mouse over/enter but it never seemed to get called.

thanks in advance :slight_smile:

on mouse entered theObject event theEvent
tell window "main"
	if theObject is image view "imagewell" then
		set contents of text field "thetext" to "Stop hovering over me!"
	end if
end tell
end mouse entered

on mouse exited theObject event theEvent
tell window "main"
	if theObject is image view "imagewell" then
		set contents of text field "thetext" to "Hello!"
	end if
end tell
end mouse exited

You also need to link the imagewell object to your applescript in Interface Builder, and give it a name (or use the ID).
Here’s a pic of the IB screen:
