Move xml element from Structure pane in ID CS4

[gopaljay78]

Hi,

I need the following action in ID CS4, to move xml element from its structure pane to a new text frame.

My action is:

1. Select the xml element in Structure.

2. Run the script to identify the selected element in Structure.

3. Move the xml element to separate New text frame.

I wrote the script for this three step. But I am unable to move the selected xml structure to new text frame.

My code is:

var myXMLElementA = app.selection[0];
var myTextFrameA = app.activeDocument .pages[2].textFrames.add({geometricBounds:[0, 0, 160, 160], contents:" "});
myXMLElementA.move(LocationOptions.atBeginning, myTextFrameA.insertionPoints.item(0));

Can anyone help me on this.

Thanks,

Gopal

Use placeXML instead of move().

var myXMLElementA = app.selection[0];
var myTextFrameA = app.activeDocument.pages[2].textFrames.add({geometricBounds:[0, 0, 160, 160], contents:" "});
myXMLElementA.placeXML(myTextFrameA);
