Post subject:  ui scripting issues with drag&drop

All,

I am currently working on a way to script audiobook builder for batch tasking.
Now I am stuck at the point where I have to pass a file to AB for processing and don't know how to proceed here.

This is the part of the builder where I am stuck:

relevant part of my code looks as:

Code:
tell application "System Events"
      tell process "Audiobook Builder"
         -- create new project
         tell window 1
            click button 1
            delay 1
         end tell
         -- name project
         tell window 1
            set value of text field 1 to Filename
            delay 1
            click button 4
         end tell
         -- name author
         tell window 1
            set value of combo box 2 to vAuthor
            tell radio group 1
               click radio button 2
            end tell
         end tell
         -- add file
         tell window 1
         -- >here I want to pass the file stored in aFile
            tell radio group 1
               click radio button 3
            end tell
         end tell
         tell window 1
            click button 4
         end tell
         tell window 1
            click button 1
         end tell
      end tell
   end tell


Thanks for any advice,
Stefan

In the past, another user wrote Apple-scripting for doing something just like you're looking to do. Here's a link to an old post about that: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=654&p=2040&hilit=audiobook+batch+script#p2040

Perhaps you could take a look at what thorix did and use that as a starting point or just try out his existing methods.
