i did alternate the same vbs script to suit my needs and i was happy about it (likeChild when you give him his favourite toy) but i run in som problems with it....when i copy and place the vbs script on other computer i want it to use it invokes CS6 instead of CC...i tried everything i could think of but no luck...same thing happens every time i try to use it open CS6 instead CC in which i run it...on the computer i did write it the script run like charm(on both computers i have CS6 and CC)....so i decided to use the jsx version of same script....
then when i try that script:
1. the dialog box is opening only when my cursor is in textframe allowing me to select what i want to change 1.document 2.selected story. 3 selection
2. when i select 2 text frames and on document i have 3 or more the script does not change in 2 selected frames instead it does in all frames
i need to alternate this script
when i select text frame to open dialogbox allowing me to pick 2 of 3 above mentioned options the number 2 and 3
so it do the find and change only in text frames i selected (when it is selected with selection tool) not in all frames
i tried to do that my self but im kinda short of knowledge
i tried to alternate the case dialog box is open adding the line case "TextFrame": in this portion of script
if(app.documents.length > 0){
if(app.selection.length > 0){
switch(app.selection[0].constructor.name){
case "InsertionPoint":
case "Character":
case "Word":
case "TextStyleRange":
case "Line":
case "Paragraph":
case "TextColumn":
case "Text":
case "Cell":
case "Column":
case "Row":
case "Table":
myDisplayDialog();
and it work for invoking the dialog box when the text frame is selected but then it only do changes in first textframe selected not in all selected....
so i tried to experiment with this line
if(myResult == true){
switch(myRangeButtons.selectedButton){
case 0:
myObject = app.documents.item(0);
break;
case 1:
myObject = app.selection[0].parentStory;
break;
case 2:
myObject = app.selection[0];
break;
}
myDialog.destroy();
myFindChangeByList(myObject);
}
else{
myDialog.destroy();
}
by changing the number to 1 or 2 or 3 but that only told the script that if i have 2 text frame selected to do search in second text frame (incase of number 1) or if i have 3 selected and in case of numer 2 only do script in 3 text frame
