Hmm, my bad. I was sure there's explanation of Photoshop app.reflect.methods[33]. For some reason there's nothing about also in JavaScript Tools Guide, but I found it in Bridge JavaScript Reference (on one page) that you can download from https://console.adobe.io/downloads/br

Log in and download documentation to read this part:

app.system (commandLine)

Issues the argument to the operating system, as if it were entered on
the command line in a shell. Control does not return to Bridge until this
function returns. Returns undefined.

commandLine The command to pass to the operating system.

You may need to compile the AS code into an app, then call the app from the JS.

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the information, i tried this idea too. The html doc will be dynamic, so if created as App, i am struggling to get the input (HTML doc) for user.

Can you please guide me, how do i pass the parameter (HTML Doc) from javascript to appliscript created App.

Thanks

Try throwing the HTML file to your OS to open with the application the user has associated with HTML files. I have nor recieved a bur report froe a mabt user the my Help button doe not work. I run Windows know nothinf avout Apple Script. My scripts are javascript only.

function help() {
	try{
		var URL = new File(Folder.temp + "/PhotoCollageToolkit.html");
		URL.open("w");
		URL.writeln('<html><HEAD><meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/PhotoCollageToolkit.html"></HEAD></HTML>');
		URL.close();
		URL.execute();
	}catch(e){
		alert("Error, Can Not Open.");
	};
}
