Help with exporting document and generating an enumerated value error

[Annie_Johnson]

Can anyone help me figure out why I cannot get this script to export the document and save it for the web?

I keep getting the same frustrating "Enumerated Value expected".

here is the script thus far:

/**

* attempting to create a script to insert names automatically within photoshop cs2. Similar to the PSP.

*/

tag = app.activeDocument;

var lee = ["Barb","Belle","Betty","Carmel","Christy","Connie",

"Debbie","Debra","Denise","Diamond","Dolceluna","Irene","Jacqui"];

//determine if active layer is a text layer or not.

if(tag.isBackground == true){

alert("this is a background layer and cannot be changed.");

}

else{

alert("this is the name layer.")

for(i=0;i<lee.length;i++){

tag.activeLayer.textItem.contents = lee;

var options = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();

options.format = SaveDocumentType.PNG-24;

options.interlaced = false;

    options.PNG8= false;

var fName = lee;

var newName = fName+'-'+tag.name+'.png';

alert(newName);

//EXPORT DOCUMENT KEEPS GENERATING ENUMBERATED VALUE EXPECTED

// web.matte = MatteType.NONE;

tag.exportDocument(File(tag.path + '/' + newName),ExportType.SAVEFORWEB,options);

} // closes for loop

}// end of else statement

That is because you have the format wrong which changes it from an enumerated value to a number.

options.format = SaveDocumentType.PNG;// set the format

options.PNG8= false;// true for png-8 or false for png-24

Perfect. I was reading the javascript guide and it said you can save as png-24.

That's it all it took.

Thank you so much

Yes the guide is misleading. It says 'For this property, only COMPUSERVEGIF, JPEG, PNG-8, PNG-24, and BMP are supported.'

It really should say 'For this property, only COMPUSERVEGIF, JPEG, PNG, and BMP are supported.'

But if you look under SaveDocumentType you will not find PNG-8 or PNG-24 listed in the values.
