InDesign JavaScript override master page item

[ivantuniy]

Hi guys

I can't get a Master page item override working.

In the code below what should I put as destinationPage?

Currently, I keep getting an error message "Invalid object for this request"

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

var myPages=myDoc.pages;

var myItems = myDoc.pages[0].appliedMaster.allPageItems;

        for (y=0; y<myItems.length; y++){

            if(myItems instanceof TextBox){

                    myItems.override(myPages[0]); //This bit doesn't work. What do I put here as destinationPage?

               }

            }

Thanks

Hi,

Try this ...

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myItems = myDoc.pages[0].appliedMaster.pageItems.everyItem().getElements();
for(var y=0;y<myItems.length;y++){
    if(myItems instanceof TextFrame){
        try{myItems.override(myDoc.pages[0]);}
        catch(e){}
    }
}

It turned out the text frame was in a group, and for that reason it couldn't be detached from the Master.

Thanks a lot for  a prompt response!
