On the link I supplied the link Download the InDesign scripting guide scripts (ZIP, 874K) is broken But your SDK link worked -- thanks

The link on the Adobe Developer page is broken, and they aren't included with the toolkit installation... InDesign developer documentation thanks

Thanks. Figured that was one way (but was hoping ID would support it via some setting...)

Specifically 2015 and 2018 If not it makes keeping scripts synced between versions a nightmare... TIA

Just curious if anyone know that it is or isn't before I spend too much time experimenting... Thanks

Hi Uwe I'm running 10.12.4 -- on an airMac so I don't have a GPU (according to ID) with CC2015 CS6 works fine without the update() I've noticed other graphic glitches with the last update to CC2015 -- text vanishes on the screen, and I have to force a redraw to see it again)

adding a .update() before the sleep solves the problem... Reading the discussion about progress bars it seems it's an OSx/ID bug Thanks

I was running it from InDesign. Your code doesn't work either... it executes -- but the palette doesn't show up. If I put an alert before the sleep it shows up immediately. I'm suspecting some redraw issue with ID

I know. But in Indesign it doesn't. (I'm using CC2015 on a mac in case that's part of the problem)

Hi I'm trying to pop up a warning dialog for 2 seconds then have it close. The following code works: var w = new Window ("palette","test", [200, 200, 680, 325], {resizeable: false}); w.show(); alert("hi"); w.close(); but obviously doesn't autoclose var w = new Window ("palette","test", [200, 200, 680, 325], {resizeable: false}); w.show(); //delay(2); $.sleep(2000); w.close(); function delay(prmSec){ prmSec *= 1000; var eDate = null; var eMsec = 0; var sDate = new Date(); var sMsec = sDate.getTime(); do { eDate = new Date(); eMsec = eDate.getTime(); } while ((eMsec-sMsec)<prmSec); } using either delay or sleep the palette only shows up occasionally (every third run of the script...) 1) any idea WHY it doesn't show up reliably? 2) is there a better way to make a popup? thanks

This might be useful too: https://github.com/fabianmoronzirfas/extendscript.prototypes HAven't had a chance to test them yet though

Thanks. This what what I was looking for; Like everyone I wish Adobe would update ExtendScript... I've Polyfilled map and filter so far -- and run into the object.create issue with a few of the prototypes. Memory leaks are a problem I've run into as well. I'm going to keep experimenting -- like you said, it makes sense. (My original goal was to minimize the side effects but the other benefits of FP can come in useful, within the limits of the DOM) And thanks for the link -- downloading now. Looks like it might be very useful Thanks again

I'm playing with adding FP functionality -- but prototype isn't working for me. A code sample - I get an "a.indexOf is not a function" error. Anyone see why I'm getting that error? It works fine in a javascript editor. main(); function main(){ var a=[4,9,16]; alert(a); b=a.indexOf(9); alert(b); } Array.prototype.indexOf = function (elem, fromIndex){ fromIndex = Number(fromIndex) || 0; var len = this.length; if (fromIndex < 0){ fromIndex += len; } for(var i=fromIndex;i<this.length;i++){ if(this == elem){ return i; } } return -1; }

Javascript DOES support FP -- that's why I asked. (I'm wondering if the investment would be worth the result)

I'm trying the following: app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null; app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle=app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.itemByName("someParaStyle"); x=app.activeDocument.findText(); next=x[0]; app.activeDocument.activePage=next.parentPage; What I want is for the active page on screen to change to the page that x[0] is on -- and for the cursor to be in the x[0] position. Any suggestions how to do it? (basically trying to add a "find next" capability to a script) Thanks

My script creates an object style. The settings are all correct -- but the "checkmark" that tells the style to apply the Anchored Object Options is NOT checked (so they don't apply) How do I set that "checkmark" that so it applies? It's probably something obvious... Thanks

given textFrames[0] -- paragraphs[0] is the first paragraph on the current page When that paragraph starts on the previous page, is there an easy way to know how many lines of that paragraph are on the previous page, and how many are on the current page? I assume there's an easy/fast way -- I just can't find it... Thanks

I know how to create a doc, place an excel spreadsheet in the doc, and then refer to the cells of the table.... Is it possible to skip the "create" and "place" steps -- and do something like myTable = new Table; myTable = open("path to excel file"); myData=myTable.rows[2].cells[11].texts[0].contents;

I know I can do it in a text search -- but I need pattern matching, which means grepping Is it possible? I looked at findGrepPreferences and didn't see a flag... Thanks

pkahrel if I add a textFrame -- then place an image in it -- isn't it still a textFrame object? (If not then sorry -- I didn't try rectangle...) (in my case I start with a textFrame since the contents could be text or an image -- placing into them the contents of a file (the filename is in the inDesign file with a unique char style...)

Uwe Thanks -- that works One Q: A group of two frames has group.allPageItems=3 Looping through the group gives the two frames (ID'd by their unique objectStyle names) and a third object with an object style name of none] -- the group has a different Object Style name -- any idea what the third item is? (The layer window only shows 2 items in the group) the group will be selected by mouse -- the group is a picture/caption group -- occasionally the picture will need to be resized along with the caption box for design reasons. Select the group, then run a script to resize the two frames inside the group based on an inputted width thanks again
