Hi. Your Objects are gradient object. Its not a spot object. so you can get color name, get to gradientStops properties like below: app.activeDocument.selection[0].fillColor.gradient.gradientStops[0].color.spot.name; Ten. ... View more

We can use File's "creator" property to determin File or Folder. If target object is "File" then return creator string, but target object is "Folder", in this case return "undefined". var myFolder = new Folder("/Volumes/public/"); var myFiles = myFolder.getFiles(); var myList = ""; for (i=0;i<myFiles.length;i++){     if(myFiles.creator==undefined){         myFiles2= myFiles.getFiles();         for (j=0;j<myFiles2.length;j++){             myList += myFiles.name +                 "/" + myFiles2 .name + "\n";             }         } else {             myList += myFiles.name + "\n";             }     } alert(myList); It checks first child of current folder.

Good morning. I examined this code last night and found a problem. When you call your function, global variable "j" is overrided by local variable. You must define variables to local in function like below: function LayerExists(FindLayer) {   var layerCount = doc.layers.length;   var FindIt = 0;    for ( var j=0; j < layerCount; j++ )    {     if ( doc.layers .name == FindLayer ) { FindIt = 1; };    }   return FindIt; } Ten ...

Hi, if you have 3 pageItems and these are in same group. alert (app.activeDocument.pageItems.length); There are only 3 items in the Document but this one line scipt return 4(items). One is GroupeItem and others are page Items. (and origin pageItems parent is GroupItem.) So you should check and move only groupItems to target layer. if (app.activeDocument.pageItems[0].typename=="GroupItem") {     app.activeDocument.pageItems[0]          .moveToBeginning(app.activeDocument.layers[0])     } You can move Items to specific layer using "moveToBeginnin()" method like prevoius script.

At first, you can't access documents properties from book. "characterStyles" properties are Documents children. It mean, You have to open the document before edit properties. see below. filePath = app.activeBook.bookContents[0].fullName; f = new File(filePath); myDoc = app.open(f); This sample is open first item in book. and you can access underline property like below. myDoc.characterStyle.itemByName('Style Name').underline = true; It set to underline. If you want delete it, change value "true" to "false". for (i=0;i<app.activeBook.bookContents.length;i++){     filePath = app.activeBook.bookContents.fullName;     f = new File(filePath);     myDoc = app.open(f);     myDoc.characterStyles.itemByName('test').underline = true;     myDoc.close(SaveOptions.YES);     } previous script is change value of characterStyle named "test"s underline property of all documents in activeBook.

Hi Alastair. I update both scripts. When delete pathPoints ondemand, must be check from last Object. var pt = new Array(); var tg = app.activeDocument.selection[0]; if (tg.typename =="PathItem"){     for (i=tg.pathPoints.length-1;i>=0;i--){         if(tg.pathPoints.selected=='PathPointSelection.ANCHORPOINT')             tg.pathPoints.remove();         }     } I add a flag which keep last pathPoint state. And now we can detect last point of clusters. distPt() function also fixed. for (i=0;i<tgt.pathPoints.length-1;i++){     if (distPt(tgt.pathPoints.anchor, tgt.pathPoints[i+1].anchor)<1){         slct.push(tgt.pathPoints[i+1]);         flg = true;         } else {             if (flg) slct.pop();             flg = false;             }     } for (i=0;i<slct.length;i++){     slct.remove();     } function distPt(pt0, pt1){     var result,dx,dy;     (pt0[0]>pt1[0]) ? dx=pt0[0]-pt1[0] : dx=pt1[0]-pt0[0];     (pt0[1]>pt1[1]) ? dy=pt0[1]-pt1[1] : dy=pt1[1]-pt0[1];     result = Math.sqrt (dx*dx+dy*dy);     return result;     } Ten wrote. ...

You can use selected pathPoints 'selected' property, and use drop pathPoint method 'remove()' too. sample is below. var pt = new Array(); var tg = app.activeDocument.selection[0]; if (tg.typename =="PathItem"){     for (i=0;i<tg.pathPoints.length;i++){         if(tg.pathPoints.selected=='PathPointSelection.ANCHORPOINT')             tg.pathPoints.remove();         }     } It delete selected pathPoints. See below POC script. var tgt = app.activeDocument.selection[0]; var slct = new Array(); for (i=0;i<tgt.pathPoints.length-1;i++){     if (distPt(tgt.pathPoints.anchor, tgt.pathPoints[i+1].anchor)<10){         slct.push(tgt.pathPoints[i+1]);         }     } for (i=0;i<slct.length;i++){     slct.pop().remove();     } function distPt(pt0, pt1){     var result;        var dx = pt0[0] - pt1[0];     var dy = pt0[1] - pt1[1];     result = Math.sqrt (dx*dx+dy*dy);     return result;     } It correct pathpoints, distance to last pathPoint shorter than 10pt and delete them.
