Hi, the following script to perform audio recordings via QuickTime Player does not work: tell application "QuickTime Player" activate set newMovie to (new audio recording "QuickTime Player") start newMovie delay 2 stop newMovie end tell I get the following event log: tell application "QuickTime Player" activate new audio recording "QuickTime Player" «class id 2 start «class id 2 "QuickTime Player got an error: Can't make «class id 2 into type reference." However, this script works: tell application "QuickTime Player" activate set newMovie to (new audio recording "QuickTime Player") start document 1 delay 1 stop document 1 end tell What's the difference between the two? Any help is greatly appreciated, Christoph ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- Institute of Phonetics and Speech Processing Ludwig-Maximilian-University Munich Schellingstr. 3 D 80799 Munich Germany Tel: +49-(0)89-2180 2807 GSM: +49-(0)171-2725148 Fax: +49-(0)89-2180-5790 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------
