Need to get list of Actions available in illustrator

[Muthu5FC5]

HI All,

I just need to get the list of actions available in the illustrator using javascript.

we only have the code to do the action using doScript() function, but i need to verify before run the action, the specific action loaded in my system or not. thats y i need the function to call all actions.

actionlist = app.actions; // its not working but this is the code i need, i want the list of actions
found = false;
Myaction ="OL_200";
for (i=0; i<actionlist.length; i++)

{

if(actionlist[i] == Myaction)

{

found = true;

}

}

if(found == true)

{

app.doScript(action="OL_200", from="Muthu_MS")

}
else
{
alert("Please load the action before run the script");

}

Thanks in advance

How about

// Pseudocode

Try {

// Run action

}

catch (e) {

// load action

$.sleep(500)

//Run action

}

Hi Muthu, there's no access to the Actions list.

Muthu,

usually all action sets that are listed in the Actions palette (unfortunately) are listed as plain text in the general Illustrator Preferences file.

Perhaps you may find a way to extract the desired infos from there.

I once answered a similar question. If it is saved, you can get it from preferences.

Get names of actions in some set?
