Applescript TO processing
Apr 14th, 2009, 12:57pm  
Hi
I've seen postings of how to launch Applescript from within Processing.
I have the opposite problem.
I am trying to use Applescript to send keystrokes to a Processing application and it simply refuses to accept them.

I've tried the following combinations:
Sending keystroke events directly to Processing
Sending keystrokes to the application written in processing
Sending keystrokes to the process as found in the process manager
Sending keystrokes to an application exported from processing
Sending keystrokes to an applet exported from processing.

None of them work.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

you could use a xml file to mediate data transfer from applescript to processing, for example: making the applescript update a file while processing keeps searching this file to see if it was updated.

it is not the ideal way of doing it, but it should work.

you could also check http://processing.org/hacks/hacks:applescript
