Problem: I want my Mac to automatically send a specific file to a specifc buddy when that person signs on.
Solution: Write an AppleScript, save it as an applet, and tell AIM to run the script once, when the buddy signs on.
set mybuddy to "yourbuddyhere"
set myfile to "Macintosh HD:Users:mikey:Pictures:4giPod.jpg" as alias
tell application "AOL Instant Messenger (SM)"
transfer myfile to mybuddy
end tell
As I said, not an elegant solution, but it functions. Remember to:- Replace myfile and mybuddy with your specific info.
- Save your script as an applet in Library/Scripts/AIMĀ® Handler Scripts/
- Activate the script by editing the Buddy Alerts for your buddy.
- Check the option "Delete this Buddy Alert after it executes."
