Script to select all overflow text frames and fit them to content?

[Handycam]

I have a document with several text frames that have overset text, due to replacing a font.  I was looking for a script that would:

1. find all the text frames that have overset text

2. apply "fit frame to content" command for each of these

Can anyone please help me here?  I'm trying to learn scripting but some of these things still confuse me.  Thanks.

I think I've got it in Applescript, but out of curiosity, how would I do this in Javascript?

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
          set myAllPageItems to all page items of page 1 of document 1
          repeat with theItem in myAllPageItems
                    set myType to class of theItem
                    if myType is text frame then
                              if overflows of theItem then
                                   fit theItem given frame to content
                              end if
                    end if
          end repeat
end tell

hi,

give a try to this js code:

var _d = app.documents[0];
var _allStories = _d.stories;
for(var n=_allStories.length-1;n>=0;n--){
var _storyAllTextFrames = _allStories.textContainers;
for(var m=_storyAllTextFrames.length-1;m>=0;m--){
_storyAllTextFrames.select();
            //Fit Frame to Content:
            try{
            app.scriptMenuActions.itemByID(11291).invoke();
                }catch(e){};
           try{
           app.scriptMenuActions.itemByID(278).invoke();
                }catch(e){};
            };
        };

Disclaimer:

I'm NOT a scripter. Sorry, don't remember exact origin of this code, but it works...

Another approach:

var FO = FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT,
    tfs = ([]).concat.apply([], app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().textContainers),
    t, i = tfs.length;
while( i-- ) (t=tfs).overflows && ( t.locked || t.fit(FO) );

Thanks.

Where is there a listing of properties such as .overflows and frame to

content? Like there is for Actionscript?

I tried the Extendscript tool but didn't see a listing. I wound up using

AppleScript due to the AS dictionary.

How can I apply this script to a specific text frame I labeled in Layers. Lets say I called this item "LeftText". Instead of fixing All text frames?

app.activeDocument.layers.itemByName("LeftText")

Thanks!
