[JS][CS3] Applying an Object Style

[Roy Marshall]

Hi.

This is a simple one, I am trying to apply an already made Object Style to a text frame.

I am using a similar method as used to apply a paragraph style:

myFrame.appliedObjectStyle.name= "GreenBox";

and also

myFrame.appliedObjectStyle= "GreenBox";

But these dont work.

I have researched the forums and found something like:

myFrame.applyObjectStyles(GreenBox , true);

and

myFrame.applyObjectStyles(GreenBox);

but these dont work either.

Can someone give me a hand with the correct syntax please?

Thanks in advance

Roy

the problem is in S after applyObjectStyle ... should be applyObjectStyle - without S at end

I have just answered this by finding another thread...

myFrame.applyObjectStyle(app.documents[0].objectStyles.item("GreenBox"), true);

I would like to know what the 'True' means though.

Any thoughts?

Cheers
