Copying an Image from a Numbers spreadsheet cell

What is the preferred way to copy an image in a Numbers table cell?

I have tried: set myContactPhoto to value of cell 4

and although this works for everything else, it does not work for images...

So, I tried:

tell application "System Events"

tell process "Numbers"

activate

keystroke "c" using command down

end tell

But I get an error message saying that the script debugger is not allowed to send keystrokes.

I am running Script Debugger 7 fro Late Night Software.

Any Ideas?

Try it in Script Editor (in Applications > Utilities).

It is possible that you may need to go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility and make sure Numbers, Script Editor, and Script Debugger are all listed and checked.

To copy the value in a Numbers cell, you can try a scrip something like this.

SG

tell application "Numbers"
	activate
	tell application "System Events" to keystroke "c" using command down
end tell
