Hi Klaus, here some scripts: EventTest1 alert ("Start TEST1","TEST1"); TestString = "First"; w1 = new Window("palette","My First Test",undefined); CloseButton = w1.add ("button",undefined,"close",{name:"cancel"}) w1.show(); CloseButton.onClick = function(){w1.close()}; Notification(Constants.FA_Note_PostMouseCommand,true); w1.onClose=GoodBye;     function Notify(note, object) {     switch (note)         {         case Constants.FA_Note_PostMouseCommand:             {             alert("TEST1: " + TestString,"TEST1");             break;             }         } } function GoodBye() {     alert("BYE1","TEST1");         Notification(Constants.FA_Note_PostMouseCommand,false);     }; EventTest2 alert ("Start TEST2","TEST2 "); TestString = "Second"; w2 = new Window("palette","My Second Test",undefined); CloseButton = w2.add ("button",undefined,"close",{name:"cancel"}) w2.show(); CloseButton.onClick = function(){w2.close()}; Notification(Constants.FA_Note_PostMouseCommand,true); w2.onClose=function(){alert("BYE2","TEST2")}; function Notify(note, object) {     switch (note)         {         case Constants.FA_Note_PostMouseCommand:             {             alert("TEST2: "  + TestString,"TEST2: ");             break;             }         } } EventTest3 alert ("Start TEST3","TEST3"); TestString = "Third"; w3 = new Window("palette","My Third Test",undefined); CloseButton = w3.add ("button",undefined,"close",{name:"cancel"}) w3.show(); CloseButton.onClick = function(){w3.close()};   Notification(Constants.FA_Note_PostMouseCommand,true); w3.onClose=function(){alert("BYE3","TEST3")}; function Notify(note, object) {     switch (note)         {         case Constants.FA_Note_PostMouseCommand:             {                          alert("TEST3: "  + TestString,"TEST3");             break;             }         } } Testsequence: - Open any document. - Start EventTest3 first, then EventTest2 and then EventTest1 DON'T CLOSE THEM YET, only click OK. You can see these scripts in your scriptlibrary (radiobutton registered) ordered like this: EventTest3 EventTest2 EventTest1 Because the dialogues are overlapping, move them. DON'T CLOSE THEM YET Click into the document at any place: Now you can see the alerts : - TEST3: First - TEST2: First - TEST1: First Now close all dialogs Click into the document at any place: Now you can see the alerts : - TEST3: First - TEST2: First "TEST1: First" is missing, because it is unregistered Have a look at the value of the variable "TestString" (First) Now restart FrameMaker and open any document. You can see  in your scriptlibrary (radiobutton registered) registered scripts ordered like this: EventTest2 EventTest3 And when clicking into the document you'll get the order: TEST2: Third TEST3: Third because it now is in alphabetical order. If you NOW change EventTest2: alert("TEST2: "  + TestString,"TEST2: "); to alert("New TEST2: "  + TestString,"TEST2: "); you can see, that this is displayed. Means: if you have a real script where lots of things happen and you change the script (while it is still registered) this function is called and can cause what cou call "special effects" and of course: after the test you have to remove the registered scripts manually That demonstrates the danger within registering / not unregistering scripts and and also the usage of global variables. I hope, that helps to understand these things a little better. I also hope this does NOT lead to additional confusion. ... View more

Hi Klaus, there's one point that astonishes me: I unregister the script each time before I start it again (either in ESTK or via script catalogue). Don't you unregister the notification when the script is closed? (by User or script) Notification(Constants.FA_Note_PostMouseCommand,false); If you don't do that, the event could be driggered a second time, when the user starts this script again. (I don't know the possible results). The other reason for some strange behaviour could be using a variable with the same name in different scripts. So they can interfere. Example for your "TWINS": w = new Window("palette","TEST",undefined); panel = w.add("tabbedpanel",undefined); tab1 = panel.add("tab",undefined,"Tab1") When execute this script a second time, under some circumstances it can lead to your "twin-effect". Just check your scripts with that view. ... View more

In every marker content you need to double EVERY backslash in the path. Then it works. This is because you can use backslash here to also use special characters (i.e. non-breaking space) .\\05 Low Pressure Delivery Meter Sets\\Operating and Maintaining Winglock instead of .\05 Low Pressure Delivery Meter Sets\Operating and Maintaining Winglock ...

frameexpert schrieb: Note also that FrameMaker markers have an internal limit of 255 characters. I am not sure if this has changed in later versions, but you should test this before you get too far into development. Since FrameMaker 12 it is 1023 characters. But the script has to check the FrameMaker Version and the amount of characters. Using a reference page is a better way (Rick, thanks for that suggestion). Warning: When using a reference page you must ensure, that the name of the reference page is unique, not only in that document, but in all of your documents. Because if you import reference pages from other documents, your reference page might  be overridden. ... View more

Dear Klaus, I have a free script (MenuMaker)  that creates and organises your menues and shortcuts. You can sort it, activate/deactivate items, give them their own label and shortcut. And it verifies, if the shortcut is already in use. MenuMaker It can be translated, but it is in German only (at the moment) and it works with "ESC" only (at the moment) Concerning your problem above you can try this: var  Mycmd = DefineCommand(1, "Test", "Test", "^q");     Mycmd.KeyboardShortcutLabel = "ESC AB";     FMcalcMenuenu.AddCommandToMenu(Mycmd); The magic word is "KeyboardShortcutLabel". And dividing "DefineAndAddCommand" into DefineCommand and AddCommandToMenu does the trick. ... View more

I wrote a  a free Extenscript "RemoveEmptyPgf", that deletes all empty paragraphs.(Marked or whole document) The problem converting documents from Microsoft Word is: you'll get an paragraph that seems to be empty, but it isn. It contains chr(13) which is not displayed. My script just ignores this unprintable character and deletes the paragraph.

Hi Klaus, to delete several items in an array, you have to go backward: for (var j=9 ; j > 5; j --) {      array.slice(j);     }  In an arry with 10 items: if you delete item 9 the array now has 9 items. Item 10 doesn't exist any more.It is now item 9 If  you delete item 9 NEXT you delete the former item 10 (the last original item). ... View more

Hi Russ, the problem in this case is, that the object of the textrange is deleted. One way could be to remember the my PrevPgf = pgf.PrevPgfInFlow, then delete the text. Rebuild it: pgf = PrevPgf.NextPgfinFlow and use this pgf for a new textlocation. The problem in doing this is, if you delete the first PGF in flow. This you have to handle it separately. And take care of the LastPgf ... View more
