[Win Ill 10] How to Call Javscript using Plugin code?

[subhaoviya]

Hi All,

IDE:Microsoft VC++ 6.0
Illustrator :Version 10

I want to call a javascript from Vc++ code using SDK .I found a sample code to do this in "ASScripting.h" header.

Here is the code:
/***********************************************/
How to use the Scripting suite:

/*To execute a JavaScript script inside a host application, you must acquire
and use a JavaScript engine instance.

A typical use of the engine:*/

ASJavaScriptEngineRef jsEngineRef = NULL;
ASAPI err = kSpNoError;

err = sScriptingSuite->CreateJavaScriptEngine( &jsEngineRef );
if ( err == kSPNoError )
{
const char scriptText[] = "documents.add();" // Script to create a new document
const char * result = NULL;

err = sScriptingSuite->ExecuteJavaScript( jsEngineRef, scriptText, &result );
if ( err == kASScriptExecutionError )
{
// If error during execution, display a dialog containing returned error information string.
ErrorAlert( result );
}
}

...

err = sScriptingSuite->DeleteJavaScriptEngine( jsEngineRef );
jsEngineRef = NULL;
/***********************************************/

But this does not work!I think the "CreateJavascriptEngine" method fails to work.Pls advice on this.Any help is highly appreciated.

Where did you get ASScripting.h? I can't find it in the SDK!

Its there in the following path

\\Adobe Illustrator 10 SDK\IllustratorAPI\General\ASScripting.h

Ah, Illustrator 10? I'm afraid I can't help you then, there isn't an ASScripting.h header anymore, at least not in the CS3 SDK (nor in the CS2 SDK I believe).

If you're trying to use it in AI10 or CS it should still work I think. Beyond that, I have no idea. I'm not sure what the replacement is supposed to be.
