ImageSearch not working - (Moved)

[Nicki]

Hello,

I'm new and want autoit to find the attached image. I followed some tutorials and use this script:

#include <ImageSearch2015.au3>

$x = 0
$y = 0
$picture = "C:\Users\WIN10\Pictures\Autolt\aktion.PNG"

$result = _ImageSearch ( $picture, 1, $x, $y, 100, 0)

if $result = 1 Then
   MouseMove ( $x,$y,100)
Else
   sleep (3000)
   Tooltip ("was not found")
   sleep (3000)
EndIf

but it cant find it but somehow in the beginning when I made the code it worked. 

And when I change line 9 to "if $result = 0 Then" then it finds it and moves the mouse.

Did I do something wrong in the script? (I made sure the name of the picture is correct and its in the same folder)

Thanks in advance

Can you tell us more about the program you are trying to automate? Perhaps there's a better option than using ImageSearch, which I've never personally used. 🙂

Using SciTE Lite ImageSearch works, but if you use the full package, ImageSearch fails. I test scripts with a shortcut on my desktop to the Lite version and use the full tools provided whilst developing. Not sure on why this is but might answer your question.

Yes, I want to automatic the uploads of my designs which you can see in the attached image. 

Under the designs there is either the text "action required"  or "not published yet" and to upload them all I need to click on those with "action required".

I want autoit to find and click on those designs with "action required" under it and ignore the rest. It needs to find it bc the order is always different and changes with each design so unfortunately I cant use mouse positions. 

Maybe instead of images it can search for the text? Is there are tool for that?

Possibly. You didn't indicate, but I'm assuming that you are using a browser. If so, which one?

Yes im using the browser opera GX

@Nicki Not familiar with that browser, but you may be able to use the Webdriver UDF if it supports the webdriver technology.
