Browse the selected characters

Hi guys and girls!

Everyone has a code snippet to show me how to navigate through the selected text (not the framework!, not the words, only the selected characters) and make changes on the characterAttributes (size, color, etc.)?

More deeply into it:

In the 'app.activeDocument.selection' property generally selected objects are stored in table form. Now when I select the characters textframe (or TextPath), there is a [Textrange] in it.

I've tried a few combinations like this extract sub, but I still get an error, that [i] selectedChars is not defined.

FYI: I'm on Mac OS X, Illustrator CS4, Javascript


var selectedChars = app.activeDocument.selection.characters;
                        
for (i = 0; i < selectedChars.length; i++ ){                            
     selectedChars[i].characterAttributes.fillColor = myNewCMYKColor;
}

I hope that I gathered all the relevant information. If not, please do not kill me and just ask for return

If someone has a smart Board for me?

Thank you very much in advance!

OK, you can safely forget all that I said earlier

Larry my previous script worked only because I started randomly my selection at the level of the second character, just a coincidence here. I was really the textFrame set iteration, so finished rewriting the thing... and in the end, it was like Marc...? It's weird, how do brands did not work?

Mark, I revisited your script and it doesn't work cos you have a typo in, newSIze, instead of newSize, that has changed and it works great... so you, you still need to understand textRanges and textSelection

Here is the new version, there is still work to make a real ransom Note generator

var myNewCMYKColor = new CMYKColor;
myNewCMYKColor.magenta = 100;

var sel = app.activeDocument.selection;

var fontsize = sel.characterAttributes.size;

for (i=0; i

  • How do I browse the selected links?

    Hello!

    I'm looking for clues on how to run a script on selected links (selected in the window).

    As this example script that runs an alert when the links are missing:

    aDoc var = app.activeDocument;

    for (var n = 0; n < aDoc.links.length; n ++) {}

    var aLink = aDoc.links [n];

    If (aLink.status == LinkStatus.linkMissing) {}

    Alert (ALink.FilePath);

    }

    }

    Is there something like LinkStatus.linkSelected?

    Or some other way for the script to sort the selected links.

    Any input would be much appreciated!

    Thank you!

    / Peter

    Hello

    As far as I know - not possible to read the link selection (any Panel UI).

    Another solution?

    -to create a dialog of the listBox (each list item is a link read a doc) and the 'multiselect' property defined as 'true '.

    The average user can select a set of links, and the script can do a work based on the selection.

  • Set the width of the characters in the selection list

    Hi all

    I have a selection list on my apex page. Here is a list of dynamic selection generated from a sql query. Does anyone know how to set the maximum length in characters of the list item, as some of my entries are huge and the selection list takes the width of my page.

    Thanks in advance!

    User,

    What is your name?

    You would do this with the LOV query. Here is an example:

    SELECT
       CASE
          WHEN LENGTH(display_col) > 50 THEN SUBSTR(display_col,1,47) || '...'
          ELSE display_col
       END display,
       return_col AS return
    FROM my_table

  • How can I remove the selection of search engines to the search bar as you type?

    Since the last update when I type in the search field, all the possible search engines are visible, and it's very confusing use now. It is also a double feature as I see that the selection of search engine is still available next to the search icon.

    Is there a way to disable the display of all the search engines available in the results 'search as you type "?

    Running Ubuntu.

    Please, do not react with an antibot question or answer, the only goal, is that I see if it's possible or not until you switch to another browser. Seems more recent updates to firefox are based mainly on the subjective views of individuals rather than on the wishes of the user. Such a shame for that one good browser.

    Best regards and thanks in advance.

    You can find research tab to change search engines in Options/preferences between the tabs and content in the current version.

    If you want to restore the window previously used independently to manage search engines, you can enable or disable this pref to false with a middle-click on the topic: config page.

    • topic: config page: browser.search.showOneOffButtons = false

    You will need to close and restart Firefox to make it work properly.

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

    I keep 5 tabs open all the time and it becomes a pain to have to reset the all bookmarks, each time firefox is closed and reopened. just because I can't put to do so in the options, because the selection is grayed out in the options

  • My Firefox browser is unable to browse the internet

    Hey there! When I use Firefox to browse the internet I just get a screen that reads "it works!" Thoughts? I'm happy to send a screenshot of the screen.

    It started when I installed the module for HTTPS Everywhere.

    Problem solved. Embarrassing, I simply relied on tools "Clear recent history" and all selected. It works fine now.

  • When you use print selection in Firefox 12.0, it prints whenever the selection is on the page (on paper) instead to the top of the page (in paper).

    When you try to use the print selection, printing starts in the location it starts as on the web page. For example, if it is down half way down the webpage, it starts halfway to print on printer paper. Then continue to another document. This only happens in Firefox, not other browsers. It makes me really want to change the default browser so I don't have to keep switching to print correctly. I tried Print Edit plugin, but it is a lot of time to do something that should be simple.

    Yes, the functionality of the print selection was twisted several times in recent versions. It was very broken in Firefox 11 and the fix has exacerbated the problem of the position of the selection moves to the top of the page (which has a long history, but is worse now).

    Workarounds

    I agree that the add-on Print Edit, which allows very fine control of the elements on the page, is not the best solution for this problem, because you often click on number of items for the same selection.

    The add-on Nuke anything that improved , has the ability to delete everything except your selected page text. Then you can print normally (i.e., without choosing the bubble of selection). I see not a feature cancel it, so you need to reload the page later to continue working with her.

    Some screenshots illustrating this use will appear below this post.

    (Note: the wire earlier How to get selection impression at work, page 2.)

  • Safari does not start, or crashes on the selection

    My Safari now plays too much upward. It does not start at all. Hangs on the selection, with the message that "Safari quit unexpectedly. " Click open to open the application again.

  • How to shorten the music file to match the selected slides

    I created a slide show with windows vista movie maker.  How to shorten the music files to match both of the selected slides.  Using the fade out option did not work

    Hello

    You can try the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    (a) open your filmmaking program and create the slide show using your photos. Choose the options you want for changes between the photos and the duration of each photo display. If you need help, then check out the help file in your theater program.

    (b) open the import file dialog box. In Windows Movie Maker, it is in the part of '"movie tasks', section"vidéo Capture." Browse your files to find the mp3 file you want to import, select and import it. Will import it into filmmaking program but it will not in the video.

    (c) search for the file in your filmmaking program and import it into the film. In Windows Movie Maker, you can drag and drop the file in the position in the window of time movie online, where you want that song to start playing.

    (d) scroll through the timeline until the end of the song. Drag the end of the song in a position to match the end of your slide show. This will be the end of the song at the same time exactly like your slide show.

    (e) read your film completely from the beginning to the end and ensure that everything is with the song the way you want that there. If you are satisfied with the finished product, then export the movie to the right format and the file will be ready to play.

    Hi auggy, Andy,.

    Well... in a way, I am very disappointed, but we will respond to it.

    Andy, I checked and iCloud, Control Panel has not been installed on its terminal, but thank you very much for suggesting it :)

    auggi, when I got back on my colleague's PC, I thought I would test to see if the feature didn't always before considering saving data dumps etc, and it worked fine!

    I left it overnight with instructions for the lady who uses the PC to test this morning and see if it's all workers, and it is still, it seems that the fix does not immediately solve the problem of browser, but there later - maybe after a second reboot or something... very strange!

    In all case, this matter can now be considered closed, so all that remains for me to say thank you very much for your help, you are amazing :)

    All the best, very, very,.
