Question

Want an applescript droplet that opens files in QuickTime and mutes them all. The script only mutes the front most opened file.

on open the_Droppings
    tell application "QuickTime Player 7" to activate
    tell application "QuickTime Player 7" to open the_Droppings
    tell application "System Events" to tell process "QuickTime Player 7"
        keystroke (ASCII character 31) using {command down, option down}
    end tell
end open

Answer 1

Here is the way I got it to work.

on open the_Droppings
    activate application "QuickTime Player 7"
    repeat with oneDrop in the_Droppings
        tell application "QuickTime Player 7"
            open oneDrop
            set sound volume of document 1 to 0
        end tell
    end repeat
end open
