Hi I am using tap.applescript to control the apple chess application. I have a simple problem i think.

when i set the global in my script using

script set mv1 to "white pawn, e2"

nothing happens anymore, something is happening inside the applescript object?

It seems quite a simple thing no?

Can i run such a script with the shell object?

global k global mv1 global mv2

set mv1 to "white pawn, e2" set mv2 to "e4"

set k to 0

tell application "Chess" to activate tell application "System Events" to tell process "Chess" keystroke "l" using {command down} keystroke "n" using {command down} click button "Start" of sheet 1 of window 1 set theNameOfLogW to name of window 1 set theNameofGameW to name of window 2 click last menu item of menu 1 of menu bar item 5 of menu bar 1 delay 1 click button mv1 of group 1 of window 1 click button mv2 of group 1 of window 1 end tell

on whiteMove(a, b) tell application "System Events" to tell process "Chess" tell group 1 of window 1 set k to k + 1 click button a click button b end tell tell table 1 of scroll area 1 of window 2 repeat until row k exists end repeat repeat while value of text field 3 of row k is "" end repeat (*return value of text field 3 of row k*) end tell end tell end whiteMove
