[amibroker] Need help on Jscript

Hello,

I want to save an image to file after the Buy or Short for each 
trade.  The export image method to do this is in Jscript, and must 
be called from outside of AB.  But I have a problem since I need to 
use the BUY(or Short) from AB to trigger the image export.  So what 
I have come up with is to use the Alertif function inside AB to 
trigger the external action, e.g.,

AlertIf( Buy, "EXEC C:\\ExportImage.js" , "At "+Now() , 1 );

Then on the root directory of the C: drive, a I have a Jscript file, 
ExportImage.js which is:

AB = new ActiveXObject("Broker.Application");

Win = AB.ActiveWindow;

Win.ExportImage( "test3.png", 1280, 960 );

So far so good.  Works like a champ EXCEPT that it keeps writing 
each new image to the same file name, test3.png.

So here is the question:  How do I increment the number after test 
or attach a time stamp to it sso that I get individual files for 
each image?  I have tried several approaches but nothing works so 
far.  Also can see from the Jscript documentation in the User's 
Guide and on the web, that it will be a chore to learn Jscript 
basics.  I want to do that over time , but not right now.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,

Grover
