How to suppress "modal dialog or alert" when the script is in process?
Dear all,
I created a script which will place text from rtf files from a folder to an active document on different page based on match. But if a font which was in doc file but not present in my mac, showed error while running the script.
That means Indesign opened a missing font alert box and script stop at that line and the error its shows "cannot handle the request because a modal dialog or alert is active".
Is is possible to suppress this error and script continue to place all RTF files? i have little knowledge on try/catch.
#target Indesign
var myDoc = app.documents.item(0);
var sourceFolder = Folder("/Users/admin4/Desktop/ec_txt");
myFiles = sourceFolder.getFiles("*.rtf");
var myFrame1 = myDoc.pageItems.itemByID(111076); // switerland
var myFrame2 = myDoc.pageItems.itemByID(111114); // eurozone
var myFrame3 = myDoc.pageItems.itemByID(111146); // germany
for (var i=0; i < myFiles.length; i++)
{
switch (myFiles.name.slice (6, myFiles.name.lastIndexOf("_")))
{
case "Switzerland_en":
myFrame1.parentStory.insertionPoints.item(-1).place(File (sourceFolder + "/" + myFiles.name))
break;
case "Eurozone_en":
myFrame2.parentStory.insertionPoints.item(-1).place(File (sourceFolder + "/" + myFiles.name))
break;
case "Germany_en":
myFrame3.parentStory.insertionPoints.item(-1).place(File (sourceFolder + "/" + myFiles.name))
break;
}
}
