Find Object Gap Color

[Shonkyin-CF145T]

Hi All,

Please suggest me why below code not working.

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

app.findObjectPreferences=app.changeObjectPreferences=null;

app.findObjectPreferences.gapColor = myDoc.swatches[1] //paper

app.changeObjectPreferences.gapColor = myDoc.swatches[0] //None

myDoc.changeObject()

app.findObjectPreferences=app.changeObjectPreferences=null;

Thanks in advance,

Shonky

Hi Shonky,

I think Find & Changing the objects by using colors will not work in InDesign CS3 JS.

Try to do the process in some other way.

Thanks Ramkumar,

I am using Indesign CS4 and code not working in CS4 too.

I got the solution with below code:

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

var mypageItems = myDoc.allPageItems

for (a=0; a<mypageItems.length; a++)

{

if (mypageItems.constructor.name == "Group")

{

continue;

}

mypageItems.gapColor = "None"

}

var mygroupItems = myDoc.groups

for (a=0; a<mygroupItems.length; a++)

{

for (b=0; b<mygroupItems.allPageItems.length; b++)

{

if (mygroupItems.allPageItems.constructor.name != "Group")

{

mygroupItems.allPageItems.gapColor = "None"

}

}

}

Its strange that find object not working. My previous code was correct i think.
