AHK Help: Please

[BoothThis]

Need this script to run in loop, looking for taking screen, send Send ^+a, sleep 1000, Send ^+a and repeat. Presently, the script will see ready.jpg after 1.jpg and will Send ^+a, sleep 1000, Send ^+a. Then it stops working for ready.jpg after 2.jpg and so on. It also ONLY works on the first firing sequence after fullscreen photobooth mode is started. Any consequtive firing sequence does not trigger the sequence. If I exit fullscreen photobooth mode, It is seen again.

Any help appreciated. Been working on this for a few days now with no real progress.



; loop forever monitoring the status of the photobooth screen by looking
; at the window title which is in the form:
; Breeze Systems Photobooth -
LookForTaking = 1
Loop
{
IfWinExist, Breeze Systems Photobooth
{

if Title contains taking.jpg
{
; ensure the photobooth window is active when ready screen is displayed to
; avoid problems with keyboard input focus being lost
IfWinNotActive, Breeze Systems Photobooth

Sleep 1000

}
Sleep 100 ; sleep for 1/10th sec to avoid hogging the processor
}
