execute Illustrator actions

I created an action to change the width of an image. I execute the action using DoScript javascript method.

The first action Obj1 will select the whole image and second action Obj2 will open the transform panel and change the width of the image.

        app.Open("D:\LWW_Castoff\45991_09_03.eps")
        app.DoScript("Obj1", "LWW")
        While (app.ActionIsRunning)
            Thread.Sleep(500)
        End While

        app.DoScript("Obj2", "LWW")
        While (app.ActionIsRunning)
            Thread.Sleep(500)
        End While

In the above code, the second action 'Obj2' is not getting executed. Both the actions are getting executed individually. Let me know the problem and how to

execute both the actions.

Im sorry I can't help with your code but the same DOM is available to AS JS & VB there is NO need for actions in any of these to do what you want… You have resize() and transform() methods… Only call on action if the DOM does not give you access…

What are you using to look these things up? This is pageItems as in the PDF, OMV and Jongs viewer
