create inline anchored text frame

[Christopher Pickering]

Hello!

I am trying to create an anchored text frame from the results of a search. If I create the anchored frame from a selection it works no problem, but when I do it from the results of a grep I get the "Text cannot be moved to its current location" error....Do you have any ideas how to resolve that?

As a side question... when I create an object style through script the text frame always has a border.. why is that? (I created the style with another script)

doc = app.activeDocument;
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;  
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "~6";  
var myFinds = doc.findGrep();  
for (i = myFinds.length; i > 0; i--){
var os = doc.objectStyles.item ("Section");
var new_note = myFinds[0].insertionPoints[0].textFrames.add ({appliedObjectStyle: os, label: 'Section'});
var n = myFinds[0].texts[0].move (LocationOptions.atBeginning, new_note.insertionPoints[0]);
n.applyParagraphStyle (os.appliedParagraphStyle, false)
new_note.fit (FitOptions.frameToContent);
}

Thank you!

Once you insert the anchored object the pointers to the text shift. So you will need to compensate for that. Sort of like this:

var ip0=myFinds[0].texts[0].insertionPoints[0].index+1,

ip1=myFinds[0].texts[0].insertionPoints[-1].index+1;

...

...

var n = myFinds[0].parentStory.insertionPoints.itemByRange(ip0,ip1).texts[0].move (LocationOptions.atBeginning, new_note.insertionPoints[0]);

//Disclamer, code sinppet written without coffee, will most likely need tweaking.

Second question,

make sure the object style has enableStroke set to true and strokeWeight set to 0
