using CastSpellByName to open tradeskill windows

[clerkenwell]

I'm trying to create a set of buttons that can be used to open tradeskill windows, and from what I can tell the CastSpellByName function is not protected when used for this purpose, but it's still not working. If I type (or click a macro that says) /script CastSpellByName "Engineering" it correctly opens the Engineering panel. But I can't get my buttons to do the same. I'm using:

SetScript("OnMouseDown", function() CastSpellByName("Jewelcrafting") end)

Clicking the button only returns the system message in chat "Interface action failed because of an AddOn." Any ideas?

Thanks.

Haven't fiddled with CastSpellByName so I have no idea why it isn't working.

You can however set a buttons attribute to use a macro-snippet as its action. The button has to inherit from SecureActionButtonTemplate for it to work though, IIRC.

button:SetAttribute("type", "macro")
button:SetAttribute("macrotext", "/cast Jewelcrafting")

That worked perfectly! Thank you so much.
