AppleScript for right mouse click - save as in Chrome

[bingefeller]

I have been trying to piece together an AppleScript to save images or videos from imgur.com, but I haven't had much success so far. My knowledge of AppleScript is very basic so the fix is probably something simple.

I figured out the coordinates of where the cursor are when I load a video on imgur. I want to do a right mouse click, save as and then hopefully have the script automatically save it for me when the save dialogue appears.

So far I have this:

tell application "System Events"
    tell process "Google Chrome"
        click at {725, 550}
        set _selection to value of attribute "AXFocusedUIElement"
        tell _selection to perform action "AXShowMenu"
    end tell
end tell

Which gives me the following error:

[B]error[/B] "Can’t get action \"AXShowMenu\" of missing value." number -1728 from «[I]class[/I] actT» "AXShowMenu" [B]of[/B] [I]missing value[/I]

As I said, I have no knowledge of AppleScript so I can't figure out the fix is. Any help / troubleshooting would be great!

I'm using AppleScript Version 2.11 (229) AppleScript 2.8.

I don’t understand what are you trying to automate? Clicking on Save?
How would you trigger the script?

Yes, I am trying to automate having to right mouse click, select save as and then saving the file by pressing the return key / or click on save in the dialog box.

I could maybe assign a shortcut to trigger the script? Is this possible?

You don’t have to get the position of the mouse, you can tell the app to click on a button. (click button)
