Hi!
I need to delete all links from document except links which lead to the images on the master pages.
So, how can i understand it?
As I know,
parent of the link is image
parent of the image is recangle
(this information from this forum +) )
and how i think
parent of rectangle is page.
so how to check up the page?

Hi Vadim,

I wrote this function to find where a link was placed: master page, pasteboard of master page, page, pasteboard or as an inline object. It works with links in groups and nested groups.

function whereIsTheLink(theLink){

   while (theLink.constructor.name != 'Application') {

   theLink = theLink.parent;

   myHierarchy += theLink.constructor.name + '|';

   }

   if (myHierarchy.lastIndexOf('|Character|Story|Document|Application|') != -1)

      {

      return 'inline object';

      }

   else if (myHierarchy.lastIndexOf('|Page|MasterSpread|Document|Application|') != -1)

      {

      return 'master page';

      }

   else if (myHierarchy.lastIndexOf('|MasterSpread|Document|Application|') != -1)

      {

      return 'pasteboard of master page';

      }

   else if (myHierarchy.lastIndexOf('|Page|Spread|Document|Application|') != -1)

      {

      return 'page';

      }

   else if (myHierarchy.lastIndexOf('|Spread|Document|Application|') != -1)

      {

      return 'pasteboard';

      }

}

Let's say that constructor.name tells you the name of an object. E.g. "guides".constructor.name returns "String". If you want more detailed info you can consult a Javascript guide.
