Hi David, ok, running directly from the scripts this is the error I get;
Error 2 : RenderAPI is undefined.
Line 17
->var pattern = RenderAPI.getParameter(kps pattern); //get pattern
information.
The other path script I have that works is ' specify varying sizes along path '... author unknown but Paul something rings a bell...here is that script;
//Script Copyright 2012 by Richard Y. Kain. I am indebted to others who made predecessor
//scripts that did not have varying copy sizes and varying copy spacing, which I added by
//rewriting portions and resturcturing the information transferred among the two scripts.
//This script for Photoshop CS6 displays the dialog window and eventually calls deco fill to
//execute the script mentioned below.
//The major feture is that the sizes of the pattern can vary progressively along the path, and
//the spacing of the copies can be specified. This script invokes the script "Varying Path and Spacing"
//that is called from the fill dialog to actually render the pattern copies.
//The scripts should be located in the directory \presets\deco in the CS6 program files context.
//This script should be invoked from Photoshop through the File>Scripts path

Anyways, maybe the error message will tell you what I'm doing wrong.
