The script iterates through a doc and works on changing conditional tags in it but it does not factor in whether the paragraph style is "Anchor" i.e. whether it contains an Anchored Frame or not. How can I use the flow object to check if the paragraph style is "Anchor" or if the paragraph contains an Anchored Frame or not?
Working code is
var flow = active.FirstFlowInDoc
while(flow.ObjectValid())
{
// need an if condition here before calling the changeCondTagInPgf function
changeCondTagInPgf(flow,active)
flow = flow.NextFlowInDoc
}
The script should only call the ChangeCondTagInFlow() function if the paragraph style is "Anchor" or if it is/contains an Anchored Frame.
This post has the test to see if the paragraph contains an anchored frame:
You should be looping through paragraphs, not flows. To test for the Anchor paragraph format, you can use this:
if (pgf.Name === "Anchor") {
// Do something here.
}
You can combine this with the function in the other post:
if ((pgf.Name === "Anchor") || (hasAnchoredFrame (pgf)) {
// Do something here.
}

Can I access paragraphs from within flows?

Hi Rick, The script appears to work correctly now, but I am receiving the following error in the FrameMaker console: Graphic file can not be replaced with Text file. I have used your frameautomation tutorial as a reference to change conditional tag applied on paragraph. Can you please explain what am I missing?
