• How can I create a series of blocks of text using the Excel list values?

  It is first of all, the first script I am trying to write from scratch. I'm completely green at the script and I picked up a few bits of ID Adobe scripting guide, but nothing has really stuck still relating to this particular goal.

  My supervisor maintains a master list of advertising space, with the name of the account, is the width of the space, and how space is the height, in an Excel sheet. These spaces can number in the hundreds, and I'm stuck manually drawing a rectangle for each space, which takes a lot of time.

  I would like to create / helped to create a script that will take these values and "magically" to draw these spaces in the form of blocks of text, with the width (in columns) and the height (in inches) defined by the values in the main list, as well as the name of each account in the subsequent text frames.

  The script didn't necessarily need to be able to pull the values directly from the Excel sheet; Can I transfer a file text if necessary, or directly in the script, values he change because I need it. A great thing (if she is not able to pull directly from an Excel sheet) which is the number of spaces a week changes, and so do the accounts and the width and height. Accordingly, it would be ideal that values of the sheet could be modified easily, in order to create a new set of spaces as necessary.

  Positioning for each space is not crucial, only the height and width. If they were all on top of each other on the same page, it is a result for me. The main idea is to not have to draw them all manually, one by one.

  For me, this looks like a command, but I hope that some experienced there Scripting Guys can help me, because I want to become experienced as well.

  Thus, the TL; DR version:

  -Script to draw a series of text blocks.

  -Size of the text boxes should be defined by the values width and height of spreadsheet Excel.

  -Text blocks must have the account name as content (from account in the Excel worksheet names).

  -Accounts, width and height changes every week in the Excel sheet, so must be relatively easy to exchange all values.

  -Width values on the Excel worksheet columns. It would be ideal that the script could turn those numbers into multiples of columns as necessary.

  -Script (optionally) can take values directly from Excel sheet.

  -Script (option) can set the fill color for the gray text frame. (If it works as I think, I could just select all the resulting images of the text myself and put them all to grey at the same time... I'm not lazy as )

  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help in any way possible, even if it's just a little push in the right direction. This script will save 1 to 2 hours of boredom every week.

  Look like the perfect thing for the InDesign scripting.

  I copy content from Excel to a text file, for a format easily read in InDesign, and there will automatically be a TAB for each 'cell', just using copy and paste.

  Here is a piece of code, perhaps you could go on with (the addition of variable to change pages and the location on the page and other things).

  The readFileLineByLine function, can be easily reused with any function using "recall". You simply tell the function what you want to be executed for each line of text that reads:

  const COLUMN_WIDTH = 2; // Define the column width in inch
  
  var pageIndex;
  var textFramesExported; // not implemented.
  
  // Add a new dokument. Set myDoc to app.activeDocument to use
  // the current document instead of creating a new one.
  var myDoc = app.documents.add();
  
  // The doSomethingWithTextRow function is called upon for every line of text read.
  readFileLineByLine('c:\\test.txt', doSomethingWithTextRow);
  
  function doSomethingWithTextRow(row){
      // We expect the text line to be TAB separated (\t = TAB). We get that from just copying the contents of an
      // excel file into a text document.
      var cells = row.split('\t');
      var companyName = cells[0]; // The Company name in the first slot of the array
      var width = COLUMN_WIDTH * cells[1];
      var height = cells[2];
  
      // Create a new text frame for every row handled
      if (pageIndex==undefined) pageIndex = 0; // Count up when you have exported a number of texts, I leave this for you to do.
      var newTextFrame = myDoc.pages[pageIndex].textFrames.add();
      newTextFrame.contents = companyName;
  
      // The text frame is created in the top left corner.
      newTextFrame.geometricBounds = [0, 0, height + ' in', width + ' in']; // Top, Left, Bottom, Right 
  
      // You might want to move the textframes to other positions, keeping track of how many you put out per page.
      newTextFrame.move( [10, 10] );
  }
  
  function readFileLineByLine(path, callbackFn){
      var myFileIn = new File(path);
      if (File.fs == 'Windows'){
          // This was probably added to recognize UTF-8 (even without its start marker?)
          myFileIn.encoding = 'UTF-8';
      }
      myFileIn.open('r');
      var myEncoding = myFileIn.encoding;
      try{
          if (!myFileIn.exists){
              throw('Missing file: ' + myFileIn.fsName)
          }
          var ln = '';
          while(!myFileIn.eof){
              // Read the lines from the file, until an empty line is found [now as a remark].
              ln = myFileIn.readln()
              // if(ln !='' && ln!='\n'){
                 // Call the function supplied as argument
                 callbackFn(ln);
              // }
          }
      }catch(e){
          alert(e);
          gCancel = true;
      }
      finally{
          myFileIn.close();
      }
  }
  

  The file in C:\ in my example was recorded in UTF-8 format and looks like this (showing hidden characters):

• How can I create a single action that hides several items at once?

  I create what I call a "video jukebox", and I would like to find an easier way to switch between videos, according to which the button is clicked. For example, I have 7 videos for viewers to choose.

  On the stage to animate are 7 buttons, each button corresponding to the appropriate video.

  I also added 7 videos of the scene (let's call them Video01.mp4, Video02.mp4, etc.).

  Press each key, I added the following to mousedown:

  SYM.$("Video01"). Hide();

  SYM.$("Video02"). Hide();

  SYM.$("Video03"). Hide();

  SYM.$("Video04"). Hide();

  SYM.$("Video05"). Hide();

  SYM.$("Video06"). Hide();

  SYM.$("Video07"). Hide();

  I have then change ' hide ' for 'show' according to which video I want to play when the viewer clicks the button and assign a mouseup action.

  I'm wondering 2 things:

  1. is there an action that allows you to hide all the videos with a single line of code, instead of repeating it several times (for each video)?

  2. can I assign a code to a transparent symbol I can superimpose each button so I can't open the actions for each of them? In other words, I would simply drag a symbol on the stage and have the code already attached to it, then all I have to do is change one or 2 lines instead of having to rewrite the entire thing every time.

  Thank you

  1 sym.$("video").hide (); allows you to hide all the video elements, then you can selectively show an individual video like sym.$("Vidoe01").show ();

  2 write a function in compositionReady as:

  sym.hideShowVideo = {function (name)}

  SYM.$("video"). Hide();

  SYM. $(Name). Show();

  }

  Call this function for each button in sym.hideShowVideo ("Video01");

  As the title suggests, how can I create a mixture of a black rectangle to transparent?

  Here is a link (http://b.1339.cf/qmdrqik.mp4) to my attempt, I'm sure I'm doing things.

  I copied the steps exactly by (https://youtu.be/Tm3ugB0vj-k?t=15m53s) to make sure I did it right.

  Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong?

  Unless you're doing something special here (I'm not sure what you mean by "does not cover the background image"), I don't think you need an 'effect '.

  Try this:

  private Rectangle createSelectWindow(final Color color, double length) {
  
          Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(length, length);
          rect.setFill(Color.RED);
          rect.setStroke(Color.RED);
          rect.setOpacity(0.5);  // i.e. make it 50% visible
          rect.setCursor(Cursor.HAND);
          return rect;
  }
  

  Or, if you do not want the border to be translucent and just fill, try this:

  private Rectangle createSelectWindow(final Color color, double length) {
  
          Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(length, length);
          rect.setFill(new Color(1, 0, 0, 0.5));  // rgba - use an alpha of 0.5 on the fill color
          rect.setStroke(Color.RED);
          rect.setCursor(Cursor.HAND);
          rootPane.getChildren().add(rect);
  }
  

• How can I create a fade in/fade out master for a sequence?

  How can I create a fade in/fade out master for a sequence?

  I'm totally new for the first...

  In Final Cut 7 I can take a whole sequence and create a 'nest' out of it, where it becomes an editable object in the timeline panel. I can only apply a fade to the whole sequence, even if there are several clips with transparency immediately above. I can also apply a video effect 'broadcast safe' to make sure that my video is all legal. How to do something similar in the first?

  Thank you!

  How can I create a separate address book? I'm not on a mailing list but an address book where addresses are not mixed with my address book regularly. I already have three created for me by Thunderbird address books. Add all new addresses to one of those, I'm not afraid to remove the other address books, because some of their addresses are not repeated in my address book "main". So if I delete all the names in one of the existing books, I need to create a blank book that will not mix the addresses with those of an another address book. HOW CAN I CREATE AN ADDRESS BOOK EMPTY? I want to be able to create multiple mailing LISTS using the addresses in this new book, I will eventually have an address book special with a variety of mailing lists, that I can use as I want to.

  In the address book, file | New | Address book.
