Hello all,

        I have a doubt.

        I have 5 different texframes with some text on it.

        How to alert the stories one by one using java script?

 

 

 

  Thanks in advance!

Hi @John_devs ,

how about using a Story Editor window?

Select the frames and just hit Cmd + y (Mac) or Ctrl + y (Windows) on the keyboard.

You would be able to see overset text as well.

    var myStories = document.stories;
for (var i = 0; i < myStories.length; i++){
    alert(myStories[i].contents);
}

          myDoc = app.activeDocument;

          myStory = myDoc.stories.everyItem().contents;

          for (var i =0; i<myStory.length ;i++)
          {
              alert(myStory);  
          }
          if i run this, i can not get the text inside the textframes instead of  i only get the [stories object] could  you guide me !
