AppleScript error: can't get window

hi everyone. there apps want position/size applescript, generate error saying "can't window." know how fix this?

example, if write:

code:

 tell application "sparrow" bounds of front window 

the error is:

code:

 "sparrow got error: can’t window 1." number -1728 window 1.

 

what have tried solve problem?

maybe sparrow isn't scriptable.

first thing try opening application's scripting dictionary in applescript editor. choose "open dictionary ..." file menu. choose sparrow.app list of applications. if don't see window class, doesn't support scriptable windows.

should refer actual scripting dictionary of app. otherwise you're guessing.


second thing try searching. google search terms: mac os sparrow script

first result:

may 29, 2011: currently, sparrow supports sending emails using applescript. other scripting features added in further versions. ...
