Call javascript from vbscript (jsx inside vbs)

[hm_arul]

Dear scripters,

I have two files

1. a.vbs

msgbox("This is Indesign Vbscript")

2. b.jsx

alert("This is Indesign Javascript")

I am placing a.vbs into the script panel, and it's working fine.

Now what I want to do is to call b.jsx from a.vbs.

How can I do this? thanks in advance

thanks

See DoScriptParameters.vbs example in indesign cs3 guide scripts.

Yes, you can run a JS script from VB script using DoScript method in CS2, but you can't send parameters and return values as in CS3.

Hi kasyan

here is my script

a.vbs

Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.CS2")
Msgbox("This message from Vbscript")

myJavaScript = "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS2\Presets\Scripts\b.jsx"

myInDesign.DoScript myJavaScript

is this syntax is correct? I am getting error "Incompatible or unsupported scripting language"

where I am mistaken?
