using terms from application "Address Book"
=09on action property
=09=09return "address"
=09end action property
=09
=09on action title for thePerson with theAddress
=09=09return "Im Stadtplandienst zeigen"
=09end action title
=09
=09on should enable action for thePerson with theAddress
=09=09return true
=09end should enable action
=09
=09on perform action for thePerson with theAddress
=09=09tell application "Address Book"
=09=09=09set z to zip of theAddress
=09=09=09set c to city of theAddress
=09=09=09set s to street of theAddress
=09=09end tell
=09=09tell application "Safari"
=09=09=09set browser to make new document
=09=09=09tell browser
=09=09=09=09set URL to "http://www.stadtplandienst.de/"
=09=09=09end tell
=09=09=09delay 2 -- give Safari a little time to load the page
