Scrolling Finder Window on Max Bang

24-Jun-09

I would like to create a simple Max patch that would cause a Mac Finder window to scroll through its file list everytime the patch sends a bang.

The Max patcher should run in the background. This patch plays an audio file that ultimately determines the sequence of the bangs that controls the scorlling with the preview window enlarged.

The question I ask is whether Max can send key stroke signals to the OSX system in order to scroll through a list of images in the finder window.

According to the Cylcing 74 Forum, the aka.keyboard http://www.iamas.ac.jp/~aka/max/#aka_keyboardobject executes several keyboard operations (key type, key down and keyup) on Mac.
