variable declaration help

need help please.

how do i declare a reference like: of sheet of window “test”

that i’ve taken from the complete statement below:

click menu item “Quality & Media” of menu of pop up button 1 of sheet of window “test”

to a variable?

i’ve tried declaring it as:

[b]set thePrintWindow to sheet of window "test"[/b]

but it doesn’t seem to work.

all help will be greatly appreciated. thanks

The sheet is actually treated as a window (which it really is), so you don’t need that “of sheet of window “test”” thingie. Just reference your sheet window directly:

click menu item "Quality & Media" of menu of pop up button 1 of window "sheetWindow"

This works, assuming your window (the one you display as sheet) is called “sheetWindow”.

I recently learned a new method for obtaining references automatically. If you want to learn something that will save you a ton of effort and headache read this post.
