How to loop different textFrames having same name defined in layer?

[virender_CTS]

I have a few textboxes in a doc and want to set the content to "xx". But below script not working.

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

var i;

var myFrames = myDoc.allPageItems;

for (i=0; i < myFrames.length; i++)

   {

      if(myFrames.itemByName == "Idea")

         {

               myFrames[i].content = "xx";

          }

   }

Try the following

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var i;
var myFrames = myDoc.allPageItems;
for (i=0; i < myFrames.length; i++){
	if(myFrames.name == "Idea")
	{
	   myFrames[i].content = "xx";
	}
 }

Hi Manan, thanks for the reply.

This works => myFrames.name == "Idea" but while running the script I receive error in follwoing line:

myFrames[i].content = "xx";  // Object does not support the property or method 'content'.

[@G]

use "contents"

oh yes, thank you. Thanks for noticing this typo.

now i have adjusted the script to loop only in textFrames. Maybe it save a fraction of second 🙂

var myFrames = myDoc.textFrames;
