About ImageSearch

[karudish]

Hi, newbie on autoit here. I'm trying to make a simple script for running a boring job on firefox, but i am having trouble already in the beggining of this xD

So i know there is a script called FF.au3 to make it easy to work on ff.. but i had trouble to work on it so i tried this:

#include <ImageSearch.au3>

$TimeTolerance = 0
$FFOpenPath = [My Firefox.exe path]
$FFOpened = [An Image that has to mandatorily appear when ff starts]

ShellExecute($FFOpenPath)
Do
   $search = _ImageSearch($FFOpened, 1, $x, $y, 0)
   If $search = 1 Then
   MsgBox(0,"ImageSearch","It worked!")
   ExitLoop()
   EndIf
   If $search = 0 Then
      MsgBox(0,"ImageSearch","Can't find image!")
      Sleep(5000)
      $TimeTolerance = $TimeTolerance + 1
   EndIf
Until $TimeTolerance = 3

Aaaand... it's not working.. It opens firefox but none of the MsgBoxs shows up..

i'm not suprised for not working cause i'm kinda new to scripting language but i don't know what i did wrong :

Help would be apreciated :DD

Thanks! =)

use _ff.au3. Image search is MUCH more unstable.

[karudish]

ff.au3 is not working too even if i do type only this:

#Include <FF.au3>
_FFStart("http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php")

it doesn't start ff.. and i have mozrepl activating on startup

[Bert]

did you try the example script?

[karudish]

This one?

#Include <FF.au3>

 _FFStart("http://ff-au3-example.thorsten-willert.de/")

If _FFIsConnected() Then
    Sleep(2000)
    _FFAction("presentationmode",true)
    Sleep(2000)
    _FFOpenURL("http://www.google.com")
    Sleep(2000)
    _FFAction("back")
    _FFAction("presentationmode",false)
    Sleep(2000)
    _FFOpenURL("chrome:bookmarks")
    Sleep(2000)
    _FFAction("alert","Bye bye ...")
    _FFQuit()
EndIf

Yes, and the script just does nothing :|

What version of Firefox do you have?

[karudish]

tried with both 30.0 and 31.0 (latest i think) 

My AutoIt version is 3.3.12.0 if it matters.

Btw, i tried to compile the script and run it, and it appears me this errors:

ok, I've seen that one. The path in _ff.au3 that points to where your installation of Firefox is incorrect.

Went through regedit to know the correct path to put on ff.au3 and it stills giving me the same error, and i checked this is the correct path to open firefox.exe

[Bert]

hmmmm....Is your OS 64 bit?

[karudish]

Yes it is.
