The relevant bits are : getSpreadsheetData.py def main(): values = getSpreadsheetRange("1M337m3YHCdCDcVyS4fITvAGJsw7rGQ2XGbZaKIdkJPc", "A1:Q41") return processValues(values) afterEffectsScript.jsx var script_file = File("getSpreadsheetData.py"); var results = script_file.execute(); $.writeln(results); alert("done!"); So, I have three questions :

由 青春壹個敷衍的年華 提交于 2019-12-10 12:58:06
问题 How can I do some manipulations with the text in a TextBox on resize in Adobe InDesign CS5 ? The main goal is too split the last word on every row to achieve something like a custom hyphenation. Is it possible using JavaScript (or ExtendScript ?) ? Thanks. UPDATE I've tried to describe my problem in comments I need an example on ExtendScript , which would find textbox dimensions and hyphenate the text according to dimension and after I'd like to create an event on textbox resize, which would

Open web page in After Effects with ExtendScript

由 大城市里の小女人 提交于 2019-12-09 07:16:29
问题 This may be a simple one but I can't figure it out. How can I open a web page in the main browser from extendscript as I would do with window.open() in Javascript? I am targeting After Effects and would like it to work on both OS X and Windows. 回答1: In After Effects you can simply do it using the system object, as Dirk mentioned. However you need several things for that: checking that the script can access the network: if (app.preferences.getPrefAsLong("Main Pref Section", "Pref_SCRIPTING

How to script InDesign/InCopy to “Check In” and “Check Out” textFrames?

由 拈花ヽ惹草 提交于 2019-12-08 07:39:17
问题 I am not very familiar with InCopy. I keep seeing that it's a separate application, but I only have InDesign CS6 here, no InCopy CS6. Yet I am able to access InCopy functions within InDesign, such as "checking out/in" various textFrames for editing, then refreshing them in the Links panel so they update other textFrames on other pages in the document. My question is this—How can I use ExtendScript to automate this process?: InCopy > Check Out a specific textFrame. Alter the text within it, or

问题 I've programmatically selected some text in InDesign using ExtendScript: app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing; app.findGrepPreferences.appliedFont = myFont; var matches = app.activeDocument.findGrep(); if(matches.length > 0) { matches[0].select(); } How can I deselect it now?

Can Adobe .jsx scripts include other script files?

由 喜欢而已 提交于 2019-12-06 06:10:03
问题 We're writing a bunch of .jsx scripts and in each I have to mock out some functions so I can use things like Array.map() and String.trim(), but I don't want to have to include that code at the top of every script. Is there a way to "include" other .jsx scripts inside of a .jsx script file? 回答1: Or you can simply use #include and #includepath preprocessor directives at the top of your script. You can find a detailed description in Adobe's "JavaScript Tools Guide". For example, if you want to
