Panel position and size

[Philter]

Is there a way to set a panel's x/y position and size using PS scripting?  If someone could point me to some documentation on this, that would be hugely appreciated!

If you are asking about the built-in panels, no you can not move or size them with scripting.

Thanks for your response Michael.

Actually, to be more specific, I'm building a Flash based panel to use with Photoshop.  Not sure if this qualifies as a "built-in" panel as you mention.

What I'm looking to do is have the panel resize itself when a button within the panel is pressed.  Also, I'd like to be able to position the panel to a specific x/y location when it is opened.

I don't think you can set the position of a custom panel. It seems to open where ever it was last closed. But you can set the size.

This is perfect.  Thanks for the example Michael!  I'll give this a try.
