Hi guys, how are you? My friends, is there any chance of a script writing the path of a layer on the "y-axis" and controlling that movement through slider?
Here is a small illustration of how it would work:

Hi c.pfaffenbichler! And I've created an action to automate the layout of dozens of photo book covers. On all these covers I will have to add a graphic logo where I work in which I use script to add and modify its opaque color. My idea is to add a control to move, change the positioning of the logo, in that same script, this would prevent it from conflicting with the title of the Cover, which is in the center of the document.
Illustration Final model:
Great!
It worked very well here.c.pfaffenbichler, Congratulations on the ability to programmer, beautiful work. I have come to imagine that this is impossible to come true! I'm going to try to add your script to the script I've been using to get more complete and efficient. If I can not, I'll come back again. Thank you
c.pfaffenbichler, Here it works very well! Really the code got me lost, I still have a lot to learn. ... Without wanting to abuse your goodwill, could you give me one more help? I tried harder I could not edit the script by adding these lines of code to make it look like the illustration image below: Thanks
var dlg = new Window ("dialog", "Setup logo" );
dlg.location = [370,370]
dlg.orientation = "row";
var pnl = dlg.add('group')
pnl.orientation = 'row';
pnl.alignment = ['left','top'];
var list = pnl.add('panel',undefined,'Select Color');
list.orientation = 'row';
list.alignment = ['left','top'];
list.orientation = "row";
list.add ("statictext", undefined, "Color:");
var listdropDown = list.add ("dropdownlist", undefined, ["Black", "White", "Custom "]);
listdropDown.selection = 0;
btnGroup = pnl.add("group");
btnGroup.orientation = "column";
btnGroup.add ('button', {x:90, y:125, width:90, height:25}, 'Enter', {name:'ok'});
btnGroup.add ('button', {x:240, y:125, width:90, height:25}, 'Cancel', {name:'cancel'});
listdropDown.onChange = function(){
switch(parseInt(listdropDown.selection)){
case 0: // Black
alert("Black");
break;
case 1: // White
alert("White");
break;
case 2: // Custom
alert("Custom");
break;
}
}
dlg.show ();

I struggled a bit to edit the script, but I achieved my great goal and I am very happy with the final result 🙂
I want to thank you once again c.pfaffenbichler for the great help. Thank you brother and congratulations on the beautiful work.
Here's how it worked:
Hi c.pfaffenbichler​,
good work
But there is a typo in this line: var theHeight = myDocument.heght;
(But this is ok, because of this line is doubled.)
Furthermore one function is missing: reselectLayers0 (myDocument, theLayers);
But after all a really good work.
