I'm kinda getting sad at this. I've been trying for hours now, literally. I'm actually wondering if I've got an outdated version of _imagesearch. I've read many other help threads, and in a couple of them the answer was "Get the newest version of _imagesearch" but i've looked, and cannot find an official link. Is there one? A couple of the links i've found were even dead links.

This program works wonderfully, except for one thing. It never finds the image. I get a traytip of "FAILED" every time.

As you can see i've even turned up the tolerance really high, it still cant find it.

I've included my version of _imagesearch. Hopefully it's just outdated and that's why it cant find it.

Is there anything else I can tell you to help you help me?

Thanks.

Is there some reason why you have to search an image and not hook into the control instead?

second, did you look here:

'?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

Yeah, that's probably like... way over my head. Until yesterday i was still writing scripts that basically said "Click, sleep, click, sleep"

But i'm always learning, and i'm gonna give it a shot.

In the meantime, if anyone else knows how to get imagesearch to work....

You need to specify the path to your image better, try @scriptdir & "ait.bmp"

Why not do it right? Your saying "yea, I know I'm doing it the hard way that is unstable and is buggy as hell and I COULD do it easier but I rather keep doing it the hard way."

Give it a try. You will be glad you did.

Thanks, I already said I would. I've read over the code you linked and I'm working to understand it. In the meantime I've already written a program that does exactly what I need, with one exception. Once it works I'l have lots of time to devote to learning something new.

Yeah, that didn't work either. I'm starting to think there's something seriously wrong with the copy of imagesearch i'm using. Going to work on another method.

Thank you both.
