I am trying to move objects above the footnote continued text via script.  Please advice

[Laubender]

Sorry. I have no idea what you are after.

Could explain in a couple of screenshots?

Thanks,

The page has continued foot. I need to move the figure above the continued footnote via script.  

[Laubender]

What's the rule?

Why do you want to move the figure?

Where to?

What do you mean with figure?
The graphic frame plus the frame with the caption?

Are both frames anchored to the main story where your footnote is?

Are both grouped in one group?

???

What's the rule? -- The rule is footnote seperator

Why do you want to move the figure? -- the process is autopaginating the content, i moving the grouped object near by the intext citiaion

Where to?

What do you mean with figure? -- grouped objects
The graphic frame plus the frame with the caption? yes

Are both frames anchored to the main story where your footnote is? nope. needs to place with wrap setting

Are both grouped in one group? one group

[Laubender]

A footone has the property storyOffset.

That's the insertion point just before the footnote special character.

Get the text frame where this footnote is with:

var myTextFrame = myFootnote.storyOffset.parentTextFrames[0];

The page is:

var myPage = myFootnote.storyOffset.parentTextFrames[0].parentPage;

if the frame is not on the pasteboard.

You then could move your group to that page and hope for the best:

myGroup.move( myPage );

Position it so that it will align to the top of the text frame there:

myGroup.move
(
	[
		myTextFrame.geometricBounds[1],
		myTextFrame.geometricBounds[0]
	]
);

If the problem will be solved is unclear. Could be that now another footnote is split. Or the same footnote is still split.

You have to test this after moving the group and decide of the situation is now better or worse.

Another thing:

myFootnote.texts[0].parentTextFrames is the array of text frames your footnote's text is running through.

If the length of this array is 1 the footnote text is not split.

Sorry, My issue is to find the foonote if its continued from the previous page. pleaser refer the screenshot 

textFrames[0].footnotes[0].isValid -- footnote continued page gives false results.

Hi,

as I already said:

First find a specific footnote, then test the text of the footnote:

// When text is selected in the story that contains footnotes:
var myFootnote = app.selection[0].parentStory.footnotes[0];

var footnoteTextContinues = [];

// Test if footnote text continues to other frames:
if( myFootnote.texts[0].parentTextFrames.length > 1 )
{
var textFramesArray = myFootnote.texts[0].parentTextFrames;
footnoteTextContinues[ footnoteTextContinues.length++ ] = [ myFootnote , textFramesArray ];

// footnoteTextContinues[0] contains e.g.: [ object Footnote , [ object TextFrame , object TextFrame , … ] ]

};

I think sreekarthikeyank want to find the top of the footnote area so that he can move the figure before the notes (where it belongs). sreekarthikeyank: move the figure to the pasteboard, get the baseline of the last text line, and move the figure back on to the page such that its bottom is on baseline of the last text line.
