using variables defined in another script

aha

alert is poping up the script alerts... of course :)

only #targetengine routine seems to pop up some extra "script alerts" in indesign can i make a whole script perform in silent mode ?

thanks guys

great tips for exploring

#targetengine works perfect

InsertLabel will explore ASAP

thanks both

I'm not JS man - but you can do this other way - use InsertLabel and ExtractLabel

description from VB:

Sub InsertLabel(Key As String, Value As String)
Member of InDesign.Document
Sets the label to the value associated with the specified key. / Key: The key. / Value: The value.

Function ExtractLabel(Key As String) As String
Member of InDesign.Document
Gets the label value associated with the specified key. / Return value: The label. / Key: The key.

example in VB:

first script:
...
myDoc.InsertLabel("objCOLOR","0,120,24,0")
...

second script:
...
myColor = myDoc.ExtractLabel("objCOLOR")
...

I don't know if you can save color value directly ...

I'm not sure - but you can use .InsertLabel and .ExtractLabel with all objects in InDesign

Yes,
you can.
js1:

#targetegine "__123__"

var a = "123";

js2:
#targetegine "__123__"

alert(a);
