AppleScript Help

ok, i have sony ericsson clicker for my t68i, and i want to be able to control the SYSTEM volume, nut just iTunes' volume.

so... here is my script:

tell application "Finder"
set realVolume to volume
tell application "SEC Helper"
enter slider mode title "Master Volume" steps 10 value realVolume
end tell
end tell


on value_was_changed(newValue)
tell application "Finder"
set volume newValue
my showOSDMessage("Volume = " & newValue & " %")
end tell
end value_was_changed

on showOSDMessage(txt)
tell application "SEC Helper"
show screen message txt
end tell
end showOSDMessage


....


so- my problem is that the script is seeting the volume in


set realVolume to volume

as a variable instead of the finder's volume. any ideas how i can get it to set my variable, realVolume, to the system's volume level so that I may adjust the master volume via my bluetooth phone?


btw- can someone send me all their applescript os x apps? i guess i must have deleted them... no clue why, but they are gone... bnau@iwu.edu

this was on apple's site:

--- This script lets you change the system volume.
--- Credits go to Apple's Sal Soghoian.
--- I just included it here as sone people had
--- problems copying and pasting the script
--- code from Safari.
--- Check out:

--- for more scripts from Apple.

return {10, 5, "System Volume"}

on sliderWasChanged(passed_value)
set percent_amounts to ¬
{0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100}
set the increment_amounts to ¬
{0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.7, 1.2, 1.9, 3, 4.6, 7}
set the percentage_strings to ¬
{"0%", "10%", "20%", "30%", "40%", "50%", "60%", "70%", "80%", "90%", "100%"}
repeat with i from 1 to the count of the percent_amounts
if the passed_value is (item i of the percent_amounts) then
set volume (item i of the increment_amounts)
beep
return ("System Volume is " & (item i of the percentage_strings))
end if
end repeat
end sliderWasChanged


in case you were wondering how it works...

moderator: you may delete this thread... if i can't

yeah- apple bases its volume on a 0-7 scale, not 0-10 or 0-100 as i had guessed..... and it is not a stright scale... grows kinda exponentially....

weird.
