10.4: Easily use Front Row on a second monitor (TV)
Authored by: scarlisle on Feb 15, '06 04:47:00PM

Another solution that I came up with was to enable acess for assistive devices under Universal Access. I then created a script that just turns on monitor mirroring and then access front row once complete in front row you can have mirroring turned off and the original resolution will return. Just another way if this is easier.

tell application "Finder"
open document file "Displays.prefPane" of folder "PreferencePanes" of folder "Library" of folder "System" of startup disk
delay 1.5
end tell

tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
tell window "Cinema HD"
tell tab group 1
click radio button "Arrangement"
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell

tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
tell window "Cinema HD"
tell tab group 1
tell group 1
click checkbox "Mirror Displays"
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell

This is my first time creating an applescript so any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
