[JS][CS3] Insertion Point

[Roy Marshall]

HI All

I need to get a hold of an insertion point between 2 characters and add some negative kerning to the characters either side.

I have tried:

myInsertion = myPara.characters[-3].insertionPoints;

and many variations of that line, but with no joy.

Can someone please help me out here?

Cheers (as always)

myInsertion = myPara.insertionPoints[-3];

This will set the kerning on each side of that character to a specific value:

myPara.characters[-3].insertionPoints.everyItem().kerningValue = -25;

If you want to use different values, then:

myPara.characters[-3].insertionPoints[0].kerningValue = leftKern;

myPara.characters[-3].insertionPoints[1].kerningValue = rightKern;

where leftKern and rightKern hold the values you want.
