I want create a Button from script.

I had add by script:

var doc=app.documents[0];
var txtMain=doc.textFrames[0];

var oCell_URL=txtMain.tables[0].cells[1];
var btnLink=oCell_URL.buttons.add();

Now, How can add action for this button?

Ex:

Hi @daitranthanhoa ,

look up the DOM documentation for the Button object.

You'll add a gotoURLBehavior to the button object.

Sample code:

var doc = app.documents.add();
var myButton = doc.buttons.add({ geometricBounds : [0,0,"50mm","50mm"]});
myButton.gotoURLBehaviors.add
(
	{
		behaviorEvent : BehaviorEvents.MOUSE_DOWN ,
		enableBehavior : true ,
		url : "http://adobe.com"
	}
);
