Using fit frame to content

[Chuck Uebele]

I'm getting odd results when using the fit to content command with my script. It shrinks down my text frame to almost nothing. My script places a graphics, then creates a text frame below the graphics for a caption. It pulls the caption info from my file using bridgetalk. Here's the section of the script:

bt.onResult = function(msg){
    var capArray = msg.body.split('zzzz');
    capFrame.contents = (capArray[0] + ' ' + capArray[1] + '. '+ capArray[2].split('.')[0])}
    capFrame.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);

If I comment out line 4, I get this:

However, when I try and use the fit code in line 4, I get this:

Hi chuck,

          First of all, you try to do this.

If then your textFrame in behaving fine then you can script,

capFrame.textFramePreferences.autoSizingReferencePoint = AutoSizingReferenceEnum.TOP_LEFT_POINT;
capFrame.textFramePreferences.autoSizingType = AutoSizingTypeEnum.HEIGHT_AND_WIDTH;
capFrame.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);

No. It's either lines 1 and 2, or line 3. Not both.

The above example didn't really work the way I wanted. I had to change HEIGHT_AND_WIDTH to HEIGHT_ONLY. Peter, you were right that I only needed 1 or 2, but I did have line 3 originally, and that was not working for some reason. Thanks to both of you for your help!
