How do I loop through selected links?

Question

Hi!I'm looking for clues on how to run a script on selected links (selected in the Links window).Like this sample script that runs an alert when links are missing:var aDoc = app.activeDocument;for(var n = 0; n < aDoc.links.length; n++) {     var aLink = aDoc.links;     if (aLink.status == LinkStatus.linkMissing) {          alert(aLink.filePath);     }}Is there something like LinkStatus.linkSelected?Or some other way for the script to sort out the selected links.Any input would be extremely appreciated!Thanks!/Peter

Hi,As far as I know - not possible to read selection from Link Panel (any UI Panel).Other solution?- to create a dialog with listBox (each list item is a link read from a doc) and "multiselect" property set as "true".This way user can select a set of links and script can do a job based on selection.Jarek

So, I got a little further. But this script only works with links selected in the documents or the layer tab.

Could anyone point me to how it's done if the link is selected in the links tab?

If its not possible just tell me. Or if you have any other solution I'd be happy to hear that as well.

Current script:

var sel = app.activeDocument.properties.selection;

for(var n = 0; n < sel.length; n++) {

if(sel == '[object Image]'){

// Directly selected image

aLink=sel.itemLink.filePath;

}

else{

// Rectangle selected

aLink=sel.graphics[0].itemLink.filePath;

}

alert(aLink);

}
