Hi,

I'm new to the world of Applescripting and was wondering how you find out what parts of an application are scriptable. For example. i know that the new version of iTunes has more scriptable properties but I do not know how to find these out.

Any help is appreciated.

thx,

The easiest way is to:

1.) Launch the Script Editor application
2.) Open your Applications folder (or wherever your iTunes is located)
3.) Drag iTunes onto the Script Editor icon in the dock

Another way is to:

1.) Launch the Script Editor application
2.) Click on the File menu and select Open Dictionary...
3.) Scroll down the list of Applications and Scripting Additions until you find iTunes
4.) Highlight iTunes in the list and click Open

Hope this helps a bit... ;-)
