Applescript for Selection

[Richard Ridgeway]

Trying to open an element from a script.

If I record the action then I get this:

tell application "MultiAd Creator Pro"

activate

open element 1 of spread 1 of document 1

end tell

From the Multiad Creator Pro.sdef:

selection (list of reference) : The set of selected elements in the current spread.

Yet when I try the code below I get an error:

tell application "MultiAd Creator Pro"

activate

open selection

end tell

What am I missing??  Any Ideas??

Steve are you still on this forum?

IIRC, the selection object can't handle that verb because the selection can contain multiple elements. Change your script to:

tell application "MultiAd Creator Pro"
activate

open element 1 of selection
end tell
