Moving text frame to separate layer

[rajnikids]

Hi,

Can anyone help on this. While running script for moving text frame with blue fill color to blue layer,, the error is;

mytext.parentTextFrames.everyItem is not a function.   please solve.

var mydoc=app.documents.item(0);

var mytexts=mydoc.stories.everyItem().paragraphs.everyItem().getElements( );

for (i=0;i<mytexts.length;i++) {

    var mytext=mytexts;

    if (mytext.fillColor.name  == "blue") {

    mytext.parentTextFrames.everyItem().itemLayer=mydoc.layers.item("blue layer");

    }

}

thanks

give it a loop

...

if (mytext.fillColor.name  == "blue") {

var tf =    mytext.parentTextFrames;

l = tf.length;

while(l--){tf.itemLayer = mydoc.layers.item("blue layer");}

    }

}

...

hi -hans-

now....

the error highlighted on here....

if (mytext.fillColor.name  == "blue") {

"undefined is not an object"

whole script¿

Guess it's a last empty paragraph. Any errorhandling in your script?

please post the whole script your using

Hi -hans-

Please check this out! the whole script////

var mydoc=app.documents.item(0);

var mytexts=mydoc.stories.everyItem().paragraphs.everyItem().getElements( );

for (i=0; i<=mytexts.length; i++) {

    var mytext=mytexts;

    if (mytext.fillColor.name == "blue") {

var tf = mytext.parentTextFrames;

l = tf.length;

while(l--){tf.itemLayer = mydoc.layers.item("blue layer");}

    }

}

Hi,

for (i=0; i<=mytexts.length; i++) {

for i = myTexts.length the script must error, cause javascript starts counting 0. Has to be 'i<mytexts.length'

wrap your mainscript in a simple 'try{ mainscript}catch (e){optionally errorhandling here}' to avoid the script aborting.

As remembered in the other but equal post: You'll only get the first used color of the paragraph, there may be more ... so it might not be the rigth approach to ask for 'paragraph.fillColor.name'

Hi rajinikanth,

I found how to move the objects. It'll move all the shaped and unshaped objects excludes graphic frames.

Here it is,

var mydoc=app.documents.item(0)

var myobjects=mydoc.splineItems.everyItem().getElements();

for (i=0;i<myobjects.length;i++){

    var myobject=myobjects;

if (myobject.fillColor.name=="swatch") {

    myobject.itemLayer=mydoc.layers.item("test")

    }

}

Feedback expected!

Good one. But it's working if remove the "=" symbol in the "for loop".

I edited like this ...."for (i=0; i<mytexts.length; i++) {" ......

Thanks for your help.
