P: Extendscript - Problems with Typography manipulation

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Hi. I have an extendscript script that (amongst other things) overlays some type over an image. The script dynamically sets the font-size - but i just upgraded to CC2014 and it's suddenly broken.

var identity = "some text"
var newLayerRef = docRef.artLayers.add();
newLayerRef.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
var textItemRef = newLayerRef.textItem
textItemRef.contents = identity;
app.preferences.typeUnits = TypeUnits.POINTS;
var textSize = 100;
// Set Text Size
if (identity.length < 11) textSize = 200;

textItemRef.size = textSize;

That works in CC, but not in CC14. If I add:

alert(textSize + " " + textItemRef.size);

I get "100 6.4px". So I can read the size - but not set it for some reason.

Bug?

It’s a known issue as Tom Ruark has acknowledged it in this thread.

The work-around is to use AM code.

Hi Stephen, 

Did you ever transform this text?

Thanks,

Should be fixed in the 2014.2.2 update. Choose Help>Updates... to install.

Where is the link for extendscript cc2014...all I found was the cc version and it can't access photoshop cc2014 in the pulldown menu?
