GC 8.6.1 - Applescript cannot deal with Alpha Channel, Broke???

[thorstenlemke]

Hi Robert,it seems that AppleScript may now have issues if function and property use the same term.So, I changed with the new BETA the window property to just "alpha". Get and set does now work.http://www.lemkesoft.org/beta.htmlThorsten On 05.05.2013, at 20:16, Robert Poland <rpoland@usa.net> wrote:   On May 5, 2013, at 12:02 PM, Thorsten Lemke <lemke@lemkesoft.de> wrote: > > > Hi, > > I changed there nothing. > > The alpha channel command does expect an boolean (as written in the dictionary). > true adds an alpha channel > false does remove it. > > Thorsten tell application "GraphicConverter" activate tell window 1 -- Main window -- try set (alpha channel) to true end try -->Can't set <<event GKONalph>> of false to application "GraphicConveter", end tell end tell

Thanks Thorsten, This works now; -- remove alpha channel if exists tell application "GraphicConverter" set alpha of window 1 to false end tell As does this; tell application "GraphicConverter" tell window 1 set x to alpha set alpha to true set y to alpha end tell end tell display dialog "" & x & return & y On May 7, 2013, at 2:48 AM, Thorsten Lemke <lemke@lemkesoft.de> wrote: > > > Hi Robert, > > it seems that AppleScript may now have issues if function and property use the same term. > So, I changed with the new BETA the window property to just "alpha".
