How to run ps cs4 js script from applescript

[Yuliaart]

Hi, I need to call photoshop js from applescript. Here what I have so far:

tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS4"
    activate
    set myScript to "Applications:Adobe Photoshop CS4:Presets:Scripts:_NDF_Ph_saveAsTif.jsx"
    do javascript (myScript)
end tell

and it's compiles, but when runs, gives me "Error 25: Expected: ;." message.

How can I call ps script from as.

Thank you very much for your help.

You have 2 ways either JavaScript supplied as string or as file. If you are going the route of file then you need to coerce your path string to 'alias' this will fail if it does NOT exist. Here are 2 examples. You also have option to pass arguments as list.

-- As String

set JavaScript to "myTest();

function myTest() {

var docRef = app.activeDocument;

var docWidth = docRef.width;

var docHeight = docRef.height;

var docSize = docWidth + ' x ' + docHeight

return docSize

}"

tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS2"

activate

set Doc_Ref to the current document

tell Doc_Ref

do javascript JavaScript ¬

show debugger on runtime error

display dialog the result

end tell

end tell

-- As File

set ScriptPath to (path to applications folder as text) & "Adobe Photoshop CS2:Presets:Scripts:Hello.jsx" as alias

tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS2"

activate

set Doc_Ref to the current document

tell Doc_Ref

do javascript ScriptPath ¬

show debugger on runtime error

end tell

end tell

This is great. I tried the alias one and it works, and I am sure I will be able to use the other one at some point.

Thank you, Mark.
