creating behaviour from applescript app

View

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.

I created a simple applescript app to change the resolution on my mac mini. I want to create a behaviour to simply open this app and I can map this to a button; however, the drag and drop method in behaviour factory doesn't seem to recognize this as an app. How can I map this function?

These entries from the FAQ may be relevant to this topic:

Behaviours

How can I create my own Behaviours? (FAQ015E0240)
You can create your own Behaviours with the Behaviour Construction Kit. A video on the Remote Buddy website provides you with an overview and step by step instructions.

You can also find step by step instructions in the Remote Buddy Help under "How Tos". You can access the Help via Remote Buddy's icon in the menu bar and via the support area of this website.

Thanks for asking.

AppleScript Apps often don't have a valid (or unique) bundle
identifier in their Info.plist.

Starting such an application should be fairly easy, though. Create an
action containing an AppleScript actor with a source similiar to this
one:

tell application "Name Of Your Own Application" to activate

Besides: you can also change the resolution of your Mac Mini directly
from within Remote Buddy's menu. These resolution changes are also
available as entries that you can place anywhere in Remote Buddy's
menu using drag and drop.

Best regards,
Felix Schwarz
