Is it possible to code via Extendscript "make compound shape?

Hey there Adobe Community.

TL; Dr - how do you get ExtendScript to call 'Make Compound Shape'. It's to make cartoon speech bubbles.

Full version:

I am trying to create a script that could create a word bubble based on a single line. The intended use is expected to accelerate the comic lettering process. For this particular iteration, I am train to retrieve the pathPoints of one line and that allows to create the speech bubble. However, I was really hoping to find a way to run the code to 'Make the shape Compound', so I can change the ball tail later, IE - non-destructive.

Here's what I have so far. Thanks to all in advance!

If (app.documents.length > 0) {var doc = app.activeDocument;} var artLayer = doc.layers [0]; The CURRENT ITERATION: Find the one and only line, extract he has start and end point. var pointEnd = doc.pathItems [0] .pathPoints [1] .anchor; $.writeln (pointEnd "pointEnd" + "\n"); var pointBegin = doc.pathItems [0] .pathPoints [0] .anchor; $.writeln ("pointBegin =" + pointBegin + "\n"); CREATE ELLIPSE = artLayer.pathItems.ellipse var ellipse (pointBegin [1], pointBegin [0], 225.0, 225,0, false, true); ([top of page] [, left] [, width] [, height] [, reverse] [, part]) ellipse.stroked = true; data var = {"anchors": [[pointEnd [0] + 2, + 2 pointEnd [1]], [pointBegin [0], pointBegin [1]], [pointEnd-2 [0], pointEnd [1] - 2]]} / / CREATE TAIL BALL arcade = var doc.pathItems.add (); Linez.stroked = true; loop through the data.anchors for (var i in data.anchors) {var point = linez.pathPoints.add ();} point. Anchor = data.anchors [i]; If it is not the first or the last, either, it's only 3 points, if just say 2 //if ((i! = data.anchors.length-1) & & I! = 0) if(i == 2) {point.rightDirection = [pointBegin + 2 [0], pointBegin [1] - 2];} Alert ("run:" + point.rightDirection); point.leftDirection = [pointBegin + 2 [0], pointBegin [1] - 2]; Data.Anchors [i]; Alert ("leftDirection:" + point.leftDirection); } else {point.rightDirection = data.anchors [i];} point.leftDirection = data.anchors [i]; }} ellipse.selected = true; Linez.Selected = true; NEED SOME HELP HERE! How can I call //app.executeMenuCommand ("makeCompoundShape"); }

It is used to be made exclusively with vbscript, or applescript but starting with CS6 also do you this with javascript

app.doScript ("actionName", "actionSetFolderName");

Is it Possible terminal command via ExtendScript toolkit?

Hello world!
I need to use the terminal command using javascript on extendscript.
But, I will automate the script on macintosh and windows operating systems.
Is it possible to use both in the same code?
For example, I have will automate the pdffonts names in pdf files. so, I use the command on a mac '/ Users/user/Desktop/fontlist/pdf pdffonts' which gives the PDF font names. It works on manually. Is it possible to use the code for mac and windows on extendscript toolkit? or separately give a code!
Thank you
Peter.

I don't know how it works on Mac, but with Windows, you can have your orders in a batch file, and then run that ExtendScript. For example, here's a script that creates a batch file and then execute it:
```
var bat = File ("~\\temp.bat");
bat.open ("w");
bat.writeln ('start Notepad.exe "C:\\DATA\\Scripts\\results.log"');
bat.writeln ('quit');
bat.close ();
bat.execute (); // This is what runs the batch file (like a double-click on it in Windows Explorer).
```
You can detect the operating system that is running the script using $.os. On my system
```
alert ($.os);
```

Is it possible to activate the option 'make flv' for limited administrators?

As the title says: is there a way to allow an administrator limited to use the option "make FLV? I enabled "Allow Limited administrator access meetings and content of records", but I want to activate the possibility for a limited administrator make a FLV in a record copy in a folder of content, without activating any other administrator privileges.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

If you give someone rights to host to the room containing the record or manage the rights of a record in the library of content, then they should be able to make a recording FLV version. You can assign the small Admin group the appropriate permissions for meetings/files and they should be able to make the FLV files offline.

Make a shape of a design

Hi all

I've been a user of photoshop very relaxed for years and know the basics of the program. However, I am a bit puzzled with a current task. I recently had a friend make a logo design based on the shape of the single color for my group. I like what it came with, but I never had any kind of hi-res or vector files to him (just a jpg of the white logo on BG), and since then he has been very busy with work and other things. I was able to pull the white in the middle of the logo (image attached to PNG format for reference) to make the shape can be used for the smaller models (stickers, etc.), but I would like to be able to size upwards without loss of quality. I tried to select color and make a path among the selection, but that didn't look right no matter how, I tried. Is it possible that something similar that I could do the form in a vector? Thanks in advance for any help.

How to make this shape in illustrator?

Hello
I want to make this shape in adobe illustrator, but I don't want to draw a path, is there an option that makes the sides rounded? photo shape was designed in adobe, effects, I made six sides of the polygon and there is an option in AE called "Outer roundness" that makes the sides rounded, but I can't find any option like this in illustrator, someone has an idea?
Thank you

To get something closer to your example, I tried the combination (using Pathfinder > unit) a (copy of the) Hexagon with corners applied and the other with a small amount of bloat (effect > Distort & Transform > Pucker & bloat), to round off the coast.

Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

Is it possible to debug native code via DONKEY?

Is it possible to debug or add breakpoints on the native C code that is called using a native extension in DONKEY?

Yes, you are debugging your application on the device of FlashBuilder as usual, and you then use the option "attached to" If the NDK IDE to attach to the running instance. You can debug natvie and FB at the same time. Very shiny!

Is it possible to access presets via extendscript objects?

Using Extendscript, I am able to access video/audio effects and transitions and apply them to specified clips. However, I can't do the same with Lumetri Presets.
Is there is any path and do the clips selected 'Presets Lumetri' and 'Presets '? Help or advice will be greatly appreciated.

No, there are no supported APIs to enable this behavior. I added your vote to the existing demand.

Is it possible that Windows Live Movie Maker can be used by the XP users?

I just pulled a cruise (Holland America) which offers courses of LARGE digital workshop. I've learned about Windows Live and RL photo gallery - what is optimal. But - MOST important - I've learned about Live Movie Maker - an improvement on the old version of WMM. WMM is not .mov files that produce new cameras. Only the .avi. I went to download the pgm MM Live and he says that Win 7 is required! There are some XPs MILLION out there and it is a pgm this cool. Any possibility there's far more that if I can use the .mov files without having to convert all of them to .avi. Or is it possible that Microsoft will be kind to us and give us live MM under Windows Essentials for XP?

Windows Live Essentials for XP contains no Windows Live Movie Maker, as you know. We are not aware of what the developers have in mind. However, because Windows XP is a ten year old operating system, I doubt there is much chance it will be retro-compatible with Windows XP.

There is a good reason to upgrade to Windows 7 to take advantage of all the new and improved and product changes.

Sincerely,

Just upgraded to Dreamweaver CC and found an annoying "feature" that makes the Skączcie code when the selection of text in the long code wrapped.
For example if there is a long single line javascript code and you select somewhere in the Middle, he instantly pushes this line to the following line similar to a line break (even if it isn't actually inserts a break of)
This is a feature that can be disabled? Or I wonder if it is a question with my Mavericks install where reinstall it will help.

POSSIBLE DUAL MONITOR VIA RDP?

Hello we intend to virutalize some customers xp on esx 3.5 upd. 3. now, here's my question
We would like to connect thinclients via the rdp Protocol to this customers xp - is a potential double monitoring?
We would like to extend the application they are run on the virual machine xp on both monitors of physikals that they are directly connected to computer thinclient.
Thank you very much. neoxx

The RDP protocol allows spanning across monitors. In my view, however, need you two monitors of the same size and resolution. To do this in XP/VIsta (in this case the terminal), you can create a RDP shortcut on the desktop and add/span to the target. the target should look like this "%systemroot%\system32\mstsc.exe/span" I'm not positive, how this is done from a wyse terminal, but I know that this is possible.

I have a customer interactive report (0ver 200) with zoom before capacity... when the user clicks an individual customer, a new report (client profile) opens with the details on the customer's product, etc... I try to add the latest news through Google RSS reader in customer profile report... Following the code works very well for company ABC (symbal ABC Stock. (TO)...

Is there a way to make the above dynamic code, which means that when I click on the ABC Company (from my customer interactive report), then the next page should have news and product of the client (as the code shown above) associated with the ABC company...
