Duplicate graphic in InDesign CS5 js

[Yuliaart]

I need to duplicate embedded graphic and it's not working:

var myRoundCornerTopRightGroup = myCornerLogo.duplicate ([1, 1]);

What am I missing.

Thank you for your help.

I am sure that you have store image link to myCornerLogo.

Try with below code

var myRoundCornerTopRightGroup = myCornerLogo.parent.duplicate ([1, 1]);

No, it didn't work for me, and I was trying earlier with the frame of the logo itself and it was giving me error too.

Thank  you for your  help.

If you send more code of your script then its easy to catch the error.

It's the code that used to work in CS4, but now I am trying to go a little bit a different route to make it work in CS5:

var myCornerFrame = myDoc.pages[0].rectangles.add (myDoc.layers.item ("Die"));
myCornerFrame.geometricBounds = ["-.0139 in",  "-.0139 in", "0.4236 in", "0.4236 in"];
myCornerFrame.strokeWeight = 0;
myCornerFrame.fillColor  = "None";
var myDocPath = myDoc.filePath;
var mySplit = myDoc.name.indexOf ("_");
var myFileName = myDoc.name.slice (0,mySplit);
var myFileNameNew = myFileName.slice (0,2);
var myRootPath = myDocPath.parent.fsName;
var myRootPath = myRootPath + "/";
var mySplitPath = myRootPath.indexOf (myFileNameNew);
var myPath = myRootPath.slice (0,mySplitPath);
var myFolderPath = myPath + "/~prepress/colorSettings/";
myCornerLogo = File (myFolderPath + "/topLeftRoundCorner.eps");
try{
if (myCornerLogo.exists){
  myLinkArray = myCornerFrame.place (myCornerLogo);
  myLinkArray[0].itemLink.unlink();
  }
}
catch (e){}
if(myTopRightCheckbox == true){
            myRoundCornerLeftBottomGroup=myCornerLogo;
            var myRoundCornerTopRightGroup = myCornerLogo.parent.duplicate ([1, 1]);
            myRoundCornerTopRightGroup.flipItem(Flip.HORIZONTAL, AnchorPoint.TOP_RIGHT_ANCHOR);
            myRoundCornerTopRightGroup.move ([myPageWidth+.0625-.0486, myPageHeight/2-.0625]);
            
            var myRoundCornerTopRightGroupPage1 = myRoundCornerTopRightGroup.duplicate ();
            myRoundCornerTopRightGroupPage1.move (myDoc.pages[1]);
            myRoundCornerTopRightGroupPage1.flipItem (Flip.HORIZONTAL, AnchorPoint.BOTTOM_LEFT_ANCHOR);
            myRoundCornerTopRightGroupPage1.move (["-0.0139 in", myPageHeight/2-.0625]);
        
        }

It all works to the point of the pink line. I do get my logo placed and embedded.

Thank you so much.

Pink line is no longer pick, so it's this line that it stops at:

            var myRoundCornerTopRightGroup = myCornerLogo.parent.duplicate ([1, 1]);

Thank you.

try to replace with this

var myRoundCornerTopRightGroup = myLinkArray[0].duplicate ([1, 1]);

Got it, thank you very much.

myCornerLogo = File (myFolderPath + "/topLeftRoundCorner.eps");

Above line showing that you have a File in myCornerLogo and your first post you trying to duplicate myCornerLogo. myCornerLogo not a document object. So instead of duplicating myCornerLogo you try to duplicate  myLinkArray[0].
