Steve, let's do this:
Script NextCall ()
If (FindGraphic(0,"Next Call",S_Top,S_Unrestricted)) then
SayString("Next Call")
else
saystring("no next call.")
EndIf
That way, we can test whether the script actually fires but is simply
not finding the graphic. My advice is that u always consider these
types of contingencies, & build them in from the get-go.
2nd, make very very sure that the graphic label & the search string of
your script match precisely, i.e., next call & NextCall are not the
same, & if the case differs, the label won't be found.
If the script is in fact firing, & the label & find search strings
indeed match, then the next thing to explore is the issue of the
window handle. I generally try GetAppMainWindow(GetCurrentWindow())
first, but this is an area that can require a good bit of
experimentation & downright hair-pulling (ask me why mine's always
short).
