Hello. Refering to my post thread #2305722 I stil have a question. After creating an array that contains color-parameters like color values and color names I want the user to l´select one of those colours via dropbox-dialog. The selected color should be inserted directly in a colorgroup of the document. First check if the group exists, check if color allready exists. My problem is, that the parser won´t do that because (I verified it) the color which was taken out from the array is not a color but an object! And one can´t put an object into a colorgroup obviously... How an object becomes a "real" color without adding it to the swatches before? I mean something like a "temporary color". function createColour() {    var n=0;     start: while(true) {                app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.INTERACT_WITH_ALL;         var colorName =[];     for (i=0; i < colourArray.length; i++) {     colorName.push(colourArray.name + "\r");     }       //Dialogbox mit Farbauswahl erstellen     var dlg = app.dialogs.add();     dlg.name = "SF_Kapitelfarben für Tabellen";     var dlgCol = dlg.dialogColumns.add();     var sText = dlgCol.staticTexts.add();     sText.staticLabel = "Bitte wählen Sie eine Farbe aus:";     var dropDown = dlgCol.dropdowns.add();     dropDown.stringList = colorName;     var res = dlg.show();     n++;     if (res == false)     continue start;             myTempNewColour = colourArray[dropDown.selectedIndex];         myNewColorKey = dropDown.selectedIndex;         break; } return myTempNewColour; return myNewColorKey;     dlg.destroy(); } // ++++++++++ Funktion createColour() ENDE ++++++++++ function newColour() {     // Prüfen, ob die Farbgruppe existiert     var myTabColorGroup = myDoc.colorGroups.itemByName("SF_TAB_Farben");         if(!myTabColorGroup.isValid){         //alert("Farbgruppe ist nicht vorhanden");         var myTabColorGroup = myDoc.colorGroups.add({name:"SF_TAB_Farben"});          }         alert(myColours.name);         exit();     if(myTabColorGroup.isValid){         //alert("Farbgruppe ist vorhanden");             var myColorToCheck = myColours.itemByName(colourArray[myNewColorKey].name);                           // Wenn die Farbe nicht vorhanden ist ...             if(!myColorToCheck.isValid){                //Erstellt ein neues Farbfeld anhand der Eingabe und der vordefinierten Farben im colourArray                 tabellenFarbe = myColours.add(colourArray[myNewColorKey]);;                 myTabColorGroup.colorGroupSwatches.add({swatchItemRef:tabellenFarbe});                              // Wenn die Farbe (Eingabe) vorhanden ist ...             if(myColorToCheck.isValid){                 //Holt sich die gewünschte Farbe aus den Dokumentenfarbpalette, anhand der Eingabe und der vordefinierten Farben im colourArray                 tabellenFarbe = myColours.itemByName(colourArray[myNewColorKey].name);                        //alert("Farbe ist bereits in der Farbpalette vorhanden: " + tabellenFarbe.name);                 };                  //alert("Die neue Farbe aus Ihrer Eingabe wurde hinzugefügt: " + colourArray[myNewColour].name);                 };             // Einfärben :             // 1. von jeder unterkante einer jeden Zelle             myTable.cells.everyItem().bottomEdgeStrokeColor = tabellenFarbe;             // 2. von jeder Oberkante einer jeden Zelle             myTable.cells.everyItem().topEdgeStrokeColor  = tabellenFarbe;             // 3. aller Zeichen in der erste Zeile             myTable.rows.firstItem().cells.everyItem().characters.everyItem().fillColor = tabellenFarbe;            } } I hope my explanation of the problem is clear enough ...

Hello! The headline tells the story: var myDoc = app.documents[0]; var myPage = myDoc.pages[0]; var allSelection = myDoc.selection; var mySelection = allSelection[0]; var numbSelection = allSelection.length; funktion checkSelection () {     for (var i=0; i < numbSelection; i++) {         if(no selection){         error message         }         else if (wrong selection) {         error message         }         else if (no table) {         error message         }         else{                 createObjectStyle();                               var myTables = allSelection.tables.everyItem();                clearOverrides();                 tableStyles();                 cellStyles();    }     } } funktion clearOverrides(){ … (using „myTables“) } funktion cellStyles(){ … (using „myTables“) } funktion tableStyles(){ … (using „myTables“) } funktion createObjectStyle(){ … (not using "myTables) } Why is the variable "myTables" not recognized (is undefined) in the function "clearOverrides"? ...

Hello everybody. It is really a simple thing. And for me it makes sense like I wrote that script. Unfortunatly: it does not work . Where is my error in reasoning? ... if (myTables.rows.firstItem().rowType == RowTypes.BODY_ROW) {      myTables.rows[0].rowType = RowTypes.HEADER_ROW; ) } if (myTables.rows[-1].rowType == RowTypes.BODY_ROW) {      myTables.rows[-1].rowType = RowTypes.FOOTER_ROW; }  ... Nothing will be detected betweeen the parantheses. --> The condition has no function. There is no error-message too. ... View more

Hi everybody. By now I understand, that it is not possible to come to a result with (commonplace-)logical conclusions. This time I´d like to get all the contents out of a book which are formatted with a certain paragraph-style. I started with this: app.activeBook.bookContents.everyItem().name So I got the names of the documents the book contains. According to my logic, this is approximately equal: .document.name. Isn´t it? The next logical step (for me) would be: app.activeBook.bookContents.everyItem().pages.everyItem().name But, of course, it´s the wrong way... Althought: app.activeDocumentpages.everyItem().name works! Background of my intension is the creation of a nested loop in which I can collect different contents from different levels (eg. page numbers, documen-/chapter-numbers, etc.). Doesn´t exist a path as I wrote in the head of this thread? ... View more
