Hi,

Have you ever tried to run FrameScript command inside ExtendScript code ?

is that possible ?

The best way to do this is to first get your FrameScript code running from a command line. Check the documentation for RunEslBatch and you will see how to do it.

Once this is working, then go to your ExtendScript script and use the File object and methods to create a .bat file that commands the appropriate command line call that you determined for calling your FrameScript code. Use the execute () method on the File object of the .bat file that you created and it should do the job.

You can also use ExtendScript's CallClient method, but I am not exactly sure what you would need as parameters. I can look into this more if you don't want to use the other approach.
