apply a clipping for each top-level group mask in the document

Sample file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzEoJSYDhH_WcXhIalFRTk9qOGc/view?usp=sharing

We can assume:

Art • grouped on configurations with a line called die.

• All groups exist on "Layer 1"

I am a loop in groups and work with groups who has relatives is "layer". I have to loop through all the groups in the document, but when I created the clipping mask creates a new group and live my loop. I am now a loop only in groups of "Layer 1"and moving them to a new layer before the clipping mask. My script is breaking after the Group has been moved to the new layer. I have a bunch of alerts in there for debugging.

#target Illustrator


var idocX = app.activeDocument;
var li = idocX.layers;


function meetTheParents(PageItem){
  if (PageItem.parent.typename = "Layer"){
  return "Layer";
  } else if (PageItem.parent.typename = "GroupItem"){
  return "Group";
  } 
}

function isLayerFree(layer){
  if (layer.locked == false && layer.visible == true){
  var gpa = layer.parent;
  isLayerFree(gpa);
  return true
  } else {
  return false
  }
}


var trLyr = li.add();
trLyr.name = "TRASH";
var l1 = li.getByName('Layer 1');
for (j = l1.groupItems.length -1; j >= 0; j--) {
  app.executeMenuCommand ('deselectall');
  var iGroup = l1.groupItems[j];
  if (iGroup.hidden==false && iGroup.locked==false) {
  if (meetTheParents(iGroup) == "Layer"){
  if (isLayerFree(iGroup.parent)){
  iGroup.move(trLyr, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING);
  // set die variable to die in current selection
  alert ("Group " + j + " moved to trash layer");
  alert ("trash layer path items length = " + trLyr.pathItems.length); // I'm getting '0' here even though I just moved items into it.
  var die = trLyr.pathItems.getByName('proofLine'); // script breaks here
  alert ("Die identified for this group");

  die.move(trLyr, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING);
  for (a = 0; a < trLyr.pageItems.length; a++){
  var thing = trLyr.pageItems[a];
  if (thing.hidden==false && thing.locked==false){
  thing.selected = true;
  }
  }
  var sel = idocX.selection; // get selection
  alert (sel.length + " items in current selection.");

  // make clipped group of die with art inside
  if (sel.length==2) {// continue only if 2 objects are selected
  var igroup = idocX.groupItems.add(); // add a group that will be the clipping mask group

  var imask = sel[0]; // the mask is the object on top
  var ipath = sel[1]; // the "drawn object" is at the bottom

  var idup = imask.duplicate(); // duplicate the mask, to later get the fill and stroke to apply to the clipping path

  ipath.move (igroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING); // add both path to the group
  imask.move (igroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING);

  imask.clipping = true; // make the mask the clipping path
  igroup.clipped = true; // clip the everything in the group to the clipping mask

  if (idup.filled == true){
  imask.fillColor = idup.fillColor; // add fill color, same as the dup
  }
  imask.stroked = true; // stroke the mask
  imask.strokeWidth = idup.strokeWidth; // add stroke width, same as the dup
  imask.strokeColor = idup.strokeColor; // add stroke color, seme as the dup

  idup.remove(); // remove the duplicate
  }else { // show this message if other than 2 objects are selected
  alert("Select both, the Mask and the object that needs to be 'inside'.\rThe Mask needs to be the top most object.");
  }
  app.executeMenuCommand ('deselectall');
  igroup.move (l1, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING);
  }
  }
  }
}
trLyr.remove();

Inside of my plu script that it breaks in silence, in this example script is for me a 'no such item. There should be such an element, I just put there. Once the script completes, the Group has been moved, which means that the named path is right where it should be.

Let's see if this works:

		     JavaScript to make the selection of top level group? 
			 Does anyone know how to select a group of high level by index?
For example, I have a lot of files with deeply nested groups and I want to select all the illustrations as high-level groups and create a work plan around the visible boundaries of the group.
I was able to loop through the groupItems from the document, but I can't seem to tell the difference between the higher level groups and subgroups. In other words, the loop works properly, but it is creating a plan to work around the Group of high level and then around each sub-group and each group within this subgroup.
In the image as an attachment, you can see that there are 5 top-level groups in this document. However, everything else is essentially grouped within these groups. for example, the logo 'Earth' is about 100 + path grouped items. information on the collar are grouped several times in a complex hierarchy as well.
The obvious solution is to decouple everything and then regroup every piece of shirt in 1 group. Unfortunately, that in itself is a lot more time than to manually create work plans and then the file is not very clean, if never go back inside to change/fix something.
I guess a way to loop through the subgroups and ignore them if they are in the geometric limits of higher level? But I'm not really sure where to start on this code...
This is the code that I currently have which creates around each groupItem, work plans, but also around each groupItem in the upper level... it up also a mistake because I think that illustrator can not cope to create work plans that fast? When I run the same script on less complicated work, it works fine.
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
var aB = docRef.artboards;
var gI = docRef.groupItems;


for (a = 0; a< gI.length; a++){
    var currentGroup = gI[a];
    currentGroup.selected = true;
    var vB = currentGroup.visibleBounds;
    aB.add(vB);//an Illustrator error occurred: 1346458189 ('MRAP')
}   
any ideas how to isolate this high-level group and ignore the rest? Thank you people.

		     How can I create legends customized for each image (large) target displayed with the widget to the Gallery? 
			 Greetings!
I'm having any joy with the thumbnails Gallery - with the exception of a customization widget, I would like to make.
I would like to have descriptive legends custom unique each 'target' (large image) image displayed. I can see the legend box personalized, move, modify, etc, but this is fixed for all images in the gallery.
How do I change each caption for each image of the target?
Thank you very much
JL
			 Assuming you are talking "Vignettes" under "Slide shows" widget in the widget library, simply drag the widget on a page to insert it. Once inserted, make sure you have legends in reverse by clicking the widget inserted on the page, and then on the small blue arrow top right of the widget that appears once the widget itself is selected, and check the box called "Legends", this will add captions [Lorem Ipsum] to each photo, you can then at this point click or double-click the text "Lorem" on each photo and that you want it to be. I hope this helps.
		    
            
            
		     Two Rhcl.exe files (one for each version). How to make the latest version rhcl.exe a recognized command? 
			 Hi all
I have two versions installed:
RoboHELP 9
RoboHELP 2015
We are in transition slowly our project in RoboHELP 9. For the moment, I can't uninstall RoboHELP 9, because I still have need for some of my projects.
The problem that I am running is:
The RoboHELP command-line compiler, rhcl.exe, is not compile all the subjects.
Our main help, when I compile it from Magnatune RoboHELP, is usually about 25 MB. When I compile the same help to use the RoboHELP command-line compiler, it's only 4 MB. That's a lot of missing content.
Here is a smaller output showing the same problem:
The compilation log shows a bunch of them:
HHC5003: error:
Compilation failed when compiling planner\Planner__Introduction.htm.
I think the problem is with the two versions I installed, it attempts to compile a RoboHELP 2015 project with a compiler of RoboHELP 9.
I checked that each version has its own rhcl.exe.
I've renamed the RoboHELP 9 one to "rhcl.exebak" so that it doesn't get used, and now my batch file wrote:
'' rhcl.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command.'
This indicates to me that he was using the RoboHELP 9 compiler.
How can I get to recognize the rhcl.exe that comes with HR 2015?
I tried to add my own system pointing to the RH2015 rhcl.exe environment variable, but that does not work either.
			 That's what I thought I was doing by adding my own environment variable, but maybe I was doing something wrong.
In any case, I did a search online, and it says to change the PATH variable.
In this variable, I added the path to include the folder of the current rhcl.exe.

Then I rebooted.
It looks like it could work now. * Phew *.

		     Need of response required for each group of checkboxes before form sends 
			 Hello world
I looked at several postings and none of them seem to give me exactly what I need, so now I write to help you please.
I have a form that contains 25 ranks of issues with groups associated with boxes to answer by the beneficiaries. I need to make a requirement AMONG the boxes are marked for each question before you can submit the form.
See my screen capture below:
For example, in the first orange line all 3 boxes are titled ''PAIN'' with the value of exports of: 'YES', 'No.' and 'I don't know'.
On the second line, all 3 boxes are titled, '1', to export values of: 'YES', 'No.' and 'I don't know'.
Third row and keep just in the same way. Each line will share the same title and have the value of exports, as mentioned above.
Is there a script that I can use so that beneficiaries are required to select 1 case in each group/rank until they will be allowed to submit their form?
Also, if you can provide the script I want to use (if that's the solution), please let me know where you would enter this script (which is - like a mouse point of action, or a paper script, etc.). I'm still learning these steps and need instructions on them.
If necessary, I use Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help!
			 The script is intended to replace your current order to submit the form.
To specify multiple recipients you can add them to the cTo parameter, delimited by semicolons, like this:

NO_DATA_FOUND image




what I want is that when I click on the image (arrow) its going to hit another report for each reason of failure.
In the detailed report, we have full reason and solution to overcome this failure
So is it possible to like this please help me.

		     Drag and drop, 1 share of different sur-succes drag Source, 4 Drop target, for each. Is this possible? 
			 Hello.
I created an infographic of type board game and wants that the participant to be able to enter the game room, then drop it into different spaces on the Board, each holding to another slide. I need interaction drag - d├⌐poser so that they can pick up and drop the piece. Now, what I need is for each target to have a different action, but even if I add each one to a different group, if I change an action for one, that it applies the change to all drop targets.
Is there a way to get around this?
In addition, once / if possible, I would like to add a "back button" on each of these slides and would need when the participant returns to the boardgame slide, they can move the piece to a different drop target to read the following description. I think that the best way to do this would be to make all the "wrong" answers, while the game piece is not stuck once they have fell on a drop target "correct." Please correct me if I'm wrong.
			 If I understand you correctly, I think that I thought about it.
Create your Drag and Drop, as you would normally
In the Panel of Drag and Drop, select the Options tab
Click on the button set the correct answers
The value of each drop target to have the source of displacement of the source (you must choose the sequence in the Type drop-down list)
Create the slides that you want to display for each drop target
Select one of the drop targets
Go to the Format of the Panel Drag and Drop tab
The Actions of the object... a button click
In the action column, select go to slide, and then select the appropriate slide
Repeat steps 6 through 9 for each target deposit
Overview of the project
I did a quick test and it seemed to work according to the settings you said earlier.
