Making a Proximity script that stores whether iTunes was playing or not when you leave the computer, and uses that state when you return. Here's the relevant code:

Code:
on entered_proximity()
	
	tell application "System Events"
		set the process_flag to (exists process "iTunes")
	end tell
	
	if the process_flag then
		set wasiTunesPlaying to ¬
			(do shell script "defaults read nu.mine.alastor.ClickerScripts ClickiTunesWasPlaying") = "1"
		
		if wasiTunesPlaying = true then
			tell application "iTunes" to play
		end if
	end if
	
end entered_proximity

on left_proximity()
	tell application "System Events"
		set the process_flag to (exists process "iTunes")
	end tell
	
	if the process_flag then
		tell application "iTunes"
			
			do shell script ¬
				"defaults write nu.mine.alastor.ClickerScripts ClickiTunesWasPlaying -boolean " & ¬
				(((player state as string) = "playing") as string)
		end tell
		
		tell application "iTunes" to pause
	end if
end left_proximity

nu.mine.alastor.ClickerScripts ClickiTunesWasPlaying is always set to 0 when run through the left_proximity! The code works flawlessly when run in Script Editor.

I can't find an error in the code. It seems as if iTunes is paused by something else before my left_proximity code is executed. But I've made sure -- there are NO events assigned to "leaving the computer", nor is any other iTunes proximity script active!

I just can't figure it out! Can anyone help me?


ps. If you want to try the code, the above works just nicely, if you just copy it into a new Proximity Script and replace the default contents with it
