Hi everybody!
I’m new on AppleScript and I have issues with my script:
I want that my script make an automator file to run and then wait some seconds before it run again. I want to see how much time remains before the script run again and I even want to stop the countdown at any time (for this i use Idle Handler). This is my script:
property runn : false
property x : 2200
property y : 0
on DoTheForm()
-- code to do
set string value of text field "Tempo" of window "Window" to y
set x to y
tell application "Safari"
activate
end tell
tell front window of application "Safari" to set current tab to tab "Restaurant City su Facebook"
do shell script "automator /Users/andrea/Documents/Restourant.workflow"
end DoTheForm
on idle
-- here we check whether we're in Run state or not
-- by checking the runn variable
-- if runn is true it starts with DoTheForm and then set runn to false
-- if runn is false it displays a countdown with a constantly refresh of text field in the Window
if runn = true then
DoTheForm()
set runn to false
end if
set string value of text field "Tempo" of window "Window" to x
set x to (x - 1)
if x = 0 then
set runn to true
end if
return 1
end idle
on clicked theObject
if name of theObject = "Via" then
set y to (get string value of text field "Tempo" of window "Window")
if runn is false then
set name of theObject to "Stop" -- rename the button
set runn to true -- here's our global variable
idle
-- call the idle handler
else -- we're already running
set runn to false -- this will stop the next idle handler from filling out the form
set content of theObject to "Via"
end if
else if name of theObject = "Esci" then
quit -- exit program
end if
end clicked
My problem is that “on Idle handler” doesn’t work properly: It doesn’t refresh text field of Window and doesn’t restart each second as on Idle handler have to do…if I understand “on Idle” tutorial…
Someone can help me with my script? Thank you so much!!!
Bye
P.S. Sorry for my terrible english!
EDIT: I’ve tried more and more and I found the problem: Idle handler doesn’t restart…never, instead the rest of the script work properly. I put “return” even in clicked handler but it doesn’t work. Any help???
Thank you so much!
