Creating a new window using Adobe Extendscript in Premiere

[justinm62690703]

Extendscript in premire REALLY feels like the wild west to me when it comes to getting coherant information on the internet, so I'm trying to start this off really basic. I have VS code installed and I've added the extendscript toolkit to it. All I'm trying to do is make a simple window pop up when the script is run. This is what I have typed:

var win = new Window("palette", "My Panel", undefined);

var button = win.add("button", undefined, "Click me!");

button.onClick = function() {

alert("Button clicked!");

}

win.show();

I've tried a couple of different variations of this, but I always end up with the same error:

Eval Error (#22): "Window does not have a constructor" in '/****/****/***/****' [1:1] in host 'premierepro-23.0 (NewWorld)'.

(Note that I censored the file name in the error report.)

Can anyone explain to me what I'm doing wrong?

@Bruce Bullis to the rescue ... again, please?

PPro ExtendScript support does not include ScriptUI, which is what you're using. 

alerts and file/folder pickers work fine though.

perhaps you could use CEP JavaScript, to handle UI?

Ok, I understand. I will look into CEP Javascript. Thanks for the help!
