Playerset: whether to force an app to yield control
Syntax
set forced yield to desiredState
Parameters
desiredState -- true or false
Result
true
Examples
tell application "PreFab Player " -- assume the main dialog is already up
set forced yield to true -- call before the offending dialog
click button "Options"
click checkbox "High speed"
click button "OK" -- dismiss the sub-dialog
click button "OK" -- dismiss the main dialog
set forced yield to false --set to false when done
end tell
Notes
- This verb is often required when a dialog calls up a sub-dialog (and doesn't allow Player to get control to handle the sub-dialog). It should be used only where required, since it slows down the Macintosh.
- How will you know if you need this verb? See the separate Tech Support FAQ document and the new "my script stops" example scripts.
- In many ways, this verb is the opposite of Player 1.03's new yield time; this forces another app to yield the processor to AppleScript and Player, yield time gives time from AppleScript to other apps.
