How to select all objects in a document?
Newbie question WAS:
I have an active document with two linked files, I need to select both of them in a script and incorporate the two. Then I'll be in selecting these separate and perform various actions on each.
In JavaScript, once I have the document object how can I select these two files/items?
Thank you
Dave
This will select all the document and incorporate your files related to assets:
* a slight change *.
for (I = app.activeDocument.placedItems.length - 1; i > = 0; i--) {}
app.activeDocument.placedItems [i] .selected = true;
app.activeDocument.placedItems [i] .embed ();
}
see you soon;

I'm fairly new to Illustrator, but it seems like it should be simple. (It's trivial in CorelDraw X 4: after selecting an object with three knots, I go to Edition > search and replace > find objects > find objects that correspond to the currently selected object and navigate the menus left.)
In Illustrator CS5, select options > identical do not seem to include the selection of all objects with the same number of nodes under the currently selected object.
A double click on the magic wand tool also does not provide such an option.
Thanks for any help.
PS also useful would be knowing how to add other criteria to this search, for example, how to select all objects with three points * and * the current fill color.
advictoriam,
I'm afraid that you have better luck with the number of anchor Point.

(CS3; JavaScript) how effectively "select all" / performing an action
Hi all
while I found little code to run applescript action I need to be able to do from JavaScript. The documentation does not mention at all of the shares.
It would save me a lot of work if I could just perform an action that changes the color of the document to CMYK instead of having to duplicate all objects in a new document (I have already created the action and it works)
This brings me to my other question: are there really no "select all"? It takes almost 2 seconds (at least if the Profiler is right) just to select a simple 300 objects in my test file. I need to batch process something like 30 records that could prove more complex and I don't like the idea to say to my colleagues that they should wait for so long...
Is there a better way that a loop through pageItems and setting .selected = true?
I could imagine performs an action that selects all objects (how to copy actions to others machines. btw?) or to run the shortcut (Ctrl + a).
Thank you very much
Mike
Good evening
Void test_ai()
Set myAi = CreateObject ("illustrator.application.CS4")
Set myDocAi = myAi.ActiveDocument' - An idea is to show, as a first step, the layers on which you want to select all objects.
myDocAi.Layers ("myLayerWithObjects"). Visible = True
myDocAi.ActiveLayer.Locked = FalsemyDocAi.Layers ("mySecondLayerWithObjects"). Visible = True
myDocAi.ActiveLayer.Locked = False' - In a second step, you select all
For each myLayers in myDocAi.Layers
If myLayers.Visible = True Then myLayers.HasSelectedArtwork = True
Next' - and finally, you define a variable with your selection
myselexion = myAi.Selection
End Sub
After that, you will probably identify each item of your choice.
Best regards

How to export all objects in ddl file.
Hello
How to export all objects in ddl file.Hello
You can try this thing, but you need to do some R & D on your side as well.
Reel under query on your hard drive.
Run below command then you will get the instructions to get the ddl for the whole table.select 'select dbms_metadata.get_ddl(TABLE,'||tname||') FROM DUAL;' FROM TAB;
It will show the result as for all tables...:
select dbms_metadata.get_ddl(TABLE,NEW) FROM DUAL;
Now you open the hold file in Notepad and make the above statement as:
select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE','NEW') FROM DUAL;
You can press on in Notepad ctrl and H to replace key and type in the first box of text TABLE and in the second "TABLE."
Ditto for the name of the table.The slide in one by one by coil settting on so you will get each ddl statement in different files.
I don't know if you are interested in R & D to yours and if you aren't then we forget.

JavaScript is case-sensitive, activedocument is not the same thing as activeDocument
change
var doc = app.activedocument;
TO
var doc = app.activeDocument;
You can't use the methods themselves, must qualify the first object
change
selectObjectsOnActiveArtboard();
TO
doc.selectObjectsOnActiveArtboard();
You should start by reading The Intro from Adobe to the script and practice according to the samples presented, then continue with Illustrator Scripting Guide and the Reference of Scripting in Illustrator

How to select all of the people who are not in any team?
Hello
I have a nice SQL expression that gives me accordingly all the "AGENTS" (people) working in a TEAM (a team)
Select one. "" AGENT_ID. "
a."NAME" | ' ' || a.' first NAME' 'Name',
c.libelle 'team ', he said.
a."DATE_EMBAUCHE" "Hire Date"
a."DATE_DEBAUCHE" «Date debauchery. "
of the OBSERVATORY. "" AGENT. "
b Observatoire.equipe_agents,
c Observatoire.Equipe
where a.agent_id = b.agent_id
and b.equipe_id = c.equipe_id
order by name
Now, how to select all the agents who do NOT work in any 'TEAM' (team)?
I tried but could not succeed!
Thank you for your help.
ChristianDave solutions use an outer join ((+) in the joints), which should bring back all the records of the agent, even if they do not exist in the equipe_agents table.
Another approach would be to use a statement NOT EXISTS or NOT IN, for example
SELECT * FROM agents a WHERE NOT EXISTS ( SELECT 1 FROM equipe_agents ea WHERE ea.agent_id = a.agent_id )

How to select all the text in the document?
I need to select all the text in a long export to RTF document. I only seem to be able to select a story. Any ideas of how I can do?
Thank you
Ian
Cannot be done. You will need to attach all the text boxes in a long history, or to use the 'ExportAllStories.jsx' script that comes with your installation default InDesign.
There are other alternatives (each using scripts), and the best way may depend on what are your intentions with the exported file - for example, if you want to read back into their original text after the mounting frames, well, there are ways to do it.

A common way is to loop through every element in the document and change its values of the background color or contour, or in the case of text, attributes of character for the fill and the outline of the text characters. This can take some time if you have many objects. In addition, if you have the color applied via the graphic styles or appearances, they are not detectable via javascript. But if you had your spot colors, you can change the values of these tasks of swatch and color will be updated in all aspects of the document, including the graphic styles, brushes, etc..
Here is an example of editing a fill for a TextBox inside a CMYK document:
#target illustrator function test(){ // must have cmyk document with one text frame (which contains at least one character) and one path for this test. // a simple function to assign the cmyk values to a cmyk color function editCMYKValues(affectedColorObject, c, m, y, k){ affectedColorObject.cyan = c; affectedColorObject.magenta = m; affectedColorObject.yellow = y; affectedColorObject.black = k; }; var doc = app.activeDocument; var t = doc.textFrames[0]; var myTexFill = t.textRange.characterAttributes.fillColor; editCMYKValues(myTexFill, 100, 100, 25, 25); var p = doc.pathItems[0]; editCMYKValues(p.fillColor, 25, 100, 100, 25); } test();

How to select all the text with QNX TextInput
With QNX TextInput, is there a way to select all the text? Spark TextInput a selectAll() method to select all text, but I do not see a similar method in QNX TextInput. No idea how you can choose all the texts with QNX TextInput. Thank you.
Hey French,.
Thanks for the clarification! I think I can help you. Here is a code example to show my explanation. In the code below when a user clicks the LabelButton object it will assign the focus to your TextInput object and then select all the text in this object. The only downside is that it will not bring the keyboard. so far, we are not successfully by invoking the keyboard without the user clicking on the TextInput. in any case in the code below, we use TextInput property the textField object as a reference to the TextField object internal. from there, we use the setSelection() method to select the text inside the object from the start to the end position pos. Here's the same code:
package { import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.display.StageAlign; import flash.display.StageScaleMode; import flash.events.FocusEvent; import flash.events.MouseEvent; import qnx.ui.buttons.LabelButton; import qnx.ui.text.TextInput; [SWF(width="1024",height="600",backgroundColor="#CCCCCC",frameRate="30")] public class TextInputTest extends Sprite { private var myInput:TextInput; public function TextInputTest() { super(); // support autoOrients stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT; stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE; myInput = new TextInput(); myInput.setSize(300,50); addChild(myInput); var newBtn:LabelButton = new LabelButton(); newBtn.label = "Click Me"; newBtn.setPosition(325, 0); newBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, selectMyText); addChild(newBtn); } private function selectMyText(e:MouseEvent):void { stage.focus = myInput; myInput.textField.setSelection(0, myInput.textField.length); } } }
hope it's what you want. Good luck!

How to select an object underneath?
I had assumed it would be 'shortcut key and press the mouse"or something like that... but it is not.
It seems that the control key changes the mode of the tool selection, while partially, sometimes allowing the selection under. But it is terribly inconsistent and means that the selection mode is changed if I select the object you want. This is how it works?
dissidently,
If there are other objects in all directions...
In this case, you can:
1) click on the top (s) object with the tool Selection and Ctrl / Cmd + shift to move / them out of the way (using Ctrl/Cmd to repeat the movement);
2) work freely with the arget object now free;
(3) repeat 1) everything by adding a - (less) before the travel distance.
Thus,.

I'm looking for the more elegant syntax through a document and select all the text frames.
You cannot select objects in... locked or hidden layers, so you will need to unlock/show layer and do what you need to do with the text, while the layer is visible/unlocked.
to get all the loop text through the text in the object of the document, you will get all the text elements. If you loop through text in a layer object, you won't get the text located within groups.

How to select other objects of a group?
I have a group of several objects. If I select an object in the group, I use the method: click = "makeObj (event)" "
And then the function:
protected function makeObj(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var targetObj:Object = event.currentTarget;
}But how to use all the other objects in the group except clicked (target)?
Hello
You can do something like below:
protected function makeObj(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var targetObj:Object = event.currentTarget;var excludedObjectCollection:Array;
}
for each (var ObjectCollection)
{
Here, to write the condition which you can diiferentiate your objects
If (targetObj.id! = item.id)
{
excludedObjectCollection.push (item);
}
}
Thank you
