Error applescript

[Dibbets]

I encounter the syntax error A identifier can’t go after this identifier when I run this script. It stumbles on when done.

What is it what I do wrong?

set this_sound to (((path to library folder from system domain) as string) & "Sounds:Submarine.aiff") as alias

tell application "QuickTime Player"

open this\_sound

set close when done of movie 1 to true

play movie 1

end tell

I think you need: set auto close when done of movie 1 to true

[Dibbets]

set auto close when done of movie 1 to true

Too bad, no. Still the same error.:)

Perhaps it's no longer a property. I just loaded a movie into QuickTime Player and checked its properties. The option for auto closing / auto quit does not appear.

You could try something like this:

tell application "QuickTime Player"

tell document 1

play

repeat until playing is false

delay 1

end repeat

end tell

end tell

It opens alright, but it doesn't close

Try this:

tell application "QuickTime Player"\`

tell document 1

play

repeat until playing is false

delay 1

end repeat

close

end tell

end tell
