Get the parent TextFrame of a marker using ExtendScript (Unstructured)

[sanam.deh]

Hi,

I am a newbie in ExtendScript. In my document, I have a couple of TextFrames which contain hyperText markers. Using ExtendScript I can get all the HyperText markers. Now I want to get the parent of each marker via script. But I couldn't find anything in the documentation.

Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

A marker will have a TextLoc property and you can use this to get the parent TextFrame. Something like this:

var textFrame;

// Assuming marker is your Marker object and doc is your Doc object.
textFrame = getTextFrame (marker.TextLoc, doc);

function getTextFrame (textLoc, doc) {

    var prop, textFrame;
	
	 // Get the text frame from the text location.
	prop = doc.GetTextPropVal (textLoc, Constants.FP_InTextFrame);
	if ((prop.propIdent.num) && (prop.propVal.obj)) {
		textFrame = prop.propVal.obj;
		return textFrame;
	}
}
