Script to renumber the links in random order

• Girls need help with a script to repeat the link to another folder in indesign

  I REALLY hope you smart people can help me.

  We had servers which means that all of our Indesign documents now have a broken link. To manually "re-edit the link to the file" causes Indesign down :-(. And it takes forever I am hoping to find a script that can connect all the links in the doc to a new file structure.

  The name of the link (name of file) and the file structure remains the same; Just point to another server. The structure contains subfolders so the best way would be that the script can see subfolders as well, but otherwise I would gladly use a script that points of 6 subfolders at a time.

  Problem - I KNOW NOT ALL SCRIPTS and I'm a graphic designer so I can't create scripts :-(. I have already had success Googling a script to unlink everything in the document, but I don't know how to run the script. DO NOT to create them.

  ANY help in this forum? I have 6 designers waiting for me to fix this.

  Is there a script where I could just change the path and then he could repeat?

• Script to sort the table in ascending order

  Hello

  I am not able to find any manufacturer of chassis function to sort the table in ascending order with respect to column 1. Please, guide me how I can write the script extended chassis manufacturer to sort the table.

  Here's how you can sort a table with ExtendScript:

  #target framemaker
  
  var doc = app.ActiveDoc;
  // Set a variable for the selected table.
  var tbl = doc.SelectedTbl;
  
  // Select the table.
  tbl.MakeTblSelection (Constants.FF_SELECT_WHOLE_TABLE);
  
  // Sort the table.
  CallClient ("TableSort", "row nocase 0 ascending -1 ascending -1 ascending");

• Help with a script to remove the link "Place and link" content

  Hello

  I need a script that will separate the content that has been placed in an indesign document by using the feature "place and link.

  I know I can manually go to the link Panel, select the linked content here and click 'remove link' in the Panel menu. However, I have about 200 indesign documents that are all full of content that has been 'placed and connected '. One I get a script to unlink content, I can add it to a batch routine to make the record of 200.

  Can anyone help please.

  See you soon

• [Req] script to update the links in Indesign using spotlight

  Hello

  I have a challenge, can someone help me please?

  I'm a graphic designer from Holland and I work with a lot of Indesign documents

  which links are missing because they are displaced, so that they are some share on our server.

  I have several scripts to connect the missing links, but they are slow,

  because they each directory and in each subdirectory. It takes some time.

  The apple search engine, Spot, is much faster.

  So I think that I have this great idea, I thought about the following:

  I select a missing link in the linkpanel in Indesign.

  Then I run the script.

  The path of the missing link is copied and ready to just the name of the file

  The name of the file is then copied to the Clipboard.

  The script then opens the dialog window to repeat the missing link.

  It the name of the image is pasted into the spotlight search engine.

  Here, the script stops.

  Click the correct file (if there is more choises) and recreate it a link is done.

  I think that this way of restoring links can be much faster.

  And you can also work with predefined smart windows (to limit results), for example:

  -a witch only shows jpg

  -a witch only shows tiff

  -a witch only shows pdf

  I know a very small little scripting, but this one I can't understand yet.

  Can someone give me help please?

• Menu questions: breaking the links at random

  In the last 5 months, I worked on a massive site that consists of more than 70 + pages. I use a menu grid Muse mega because my customers wanted a 100% width menu type drop-down. I have since upgraded Muse 2 - 3 times and am having nothing but problems with the menu. For example, if you go to the navalicompany.businesscatalyst.com site and try clicking on the industry in the main navigation that is not related. I have linked this page over and over again only to have Muse forget the link again. I can't tell you how many times I have to fire the menu. You can imagine 70 + pages multiplied the number of times I had to manually make corrections and it comes out in the hundreds, or even thousands of corrections. This laborious task is largely to the fact that my client wants as the header to stick on the top, so I need the item header and menu on each page (not master pages). Can you help me at all and I would like to know why the menu continues to forget it is link. I'm way late to launch this site and I'm getting tired of this question. Help, please! Thank you!

• script to rename the layers in alphabetical order

  Hello world

  I have a name change script that works only on the numbers and I want to make it work for the letters too.

  What I want to achieve is to select a few layers-> load the script-> enter the desired name of the layer and brackets insert the letter of where to start. The script then iterates through the alphabet rename the layers and adding the letter from coresponding to the name and remove the brackets. For example, I select 4 layers, loading the script and when the guest comes on... Enter the name: test [C]. In the end, that I should have renamed layers testC testD, tests, testF

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Thank you

  So what you wanted, it is for renaming selected objects, no layers, right?

• How to raise an event when the user have clicked all the buttons (in random order)?

  Greetings,

  I want to trigger an event (frame 2 goto and stop) after all my 3 user buttons were clicked in no particular order.

  I have 3 buttons on the stage, image1. (instence names: MCBlue, MCRed, MCYellow)

  How can I write my code?

  Here's what I have, but it does not at all. I'm so confused.

  I thank very you much for your time.

  [code]:

  import flash.events.Event;
  import flash.events.MouseEvent; 
  
  stop();  
  
  MCRed.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,redReady);
  MCBlue.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,blueReady);
  MCYellow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,yellowReady);
  
  function redReady(event:MouseEvent):void
  {
            MCRed.MouseEvent.CLICK();
  }
  
  function blueReady(event:MouseEvent):void
  {
            MCBlue.MouseEvent.CLICK();
  }
  
  
  function yellowReady(event:MouseEvent):void
  {
            MCBlue.MouseEvent.CLICK();
  }
  
  
  var buttons:Array = [redReady, blueReady, yellowReady];
  var sequence:Array = [];
  var correct:int;
  
  
  addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, gotoFrame);
  
  
  function gotoFrame(e:MouseEvent):void {
            if (buttons.indexOf(e.target) == sequence[correct]){
                      gotoAndStop(2);
            }
  }
  
  

  If the buttons are movieclip symbols, then a way to solve it would be to set a property of each button to be true, when everyone gets clicked and then have a function that you call who checks this property for all buttons.  When all the true test is when you switch to the 2 structure.  Something like...

  import flash.events.Event;
  import flash.events.MouseEvent;
  
  stop();  
  
  MCRed.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,redReady);
  MCBlue.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,blueReady);
  MCYellow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,yellowReady);
  
  MCRed.clicked = false;
  MCBlue.clicked = false;
  MCYellow.clicked = false;
  
  function redReady(event:MouseEvent):void
  {
            MCRed.clicked = true;
            gotoFrame();
  
  }
  
  function blueReady(event:MouseEvent):void
  {
            MCBlue.clicked = true;
            gotoFrame();
  }
  
  function yellowReady(event:MouseEvent):void
  {
            MCYellow.clicked = true;
            gotoFrame();
  }
  
  function gotoFrame():void {
            if(MCRed.clicked && MCBlue.clicked && MCYellow.clicked){
                      gotoAndStop(2);
            }
  }

  I have created a slideshow using Photos app. I wish that the images will appear randomly (as they can in Power Point), but I don't see where in the settings that allows this. Any thoughts?

  There is no option in Photos for MAc that allows you to randomly pull a slide show.

  You can create an album and have the album as an instant slide show in a random order using an Apple Script.

• In our site web the kind of product order under our categories are random with Firefox, but IE, Chrome is fine, any ideas?

  The sort order of products under our categories on our website is random with Firefox, but the categories of products are in the correct order with IE, Chrome, etc.. This incorrect order occurs on different computers, e.g. Firefox, Windows 7, XP, etc. and not is not compliant. To make matters worse, sometimes it is random with Firefox and return then to be sorted correctly, but IE, Chrome, etc. are always in the correct order.

  I get the blue beauty first when I specify 'Default' sort order and blue Gigantea first when I specify 'Low price' sort order. This seems to be implemented using a cookie so that if I reload the page, the order is not reset to the default value.

  Edit: However, if I close the tab and open the link again, it reverts to the default.

• Sidebar gadgets are in random order each time I restart the application from the sidebar or I restart the computer.

  For some reason, whenever I restart the computer or I close the application of the sidebar and re - open in the start menu, my gadgets are in random order.

  I saw another thread for this on Microsoft Answers Social, but his problem was just after installation of SP2. I had SP2 for a long time and recently began to experience this.

  A moderator of Microsoft support proposed making sure that Java and Flash have been fully installed and implemented to date. I have both.

  However, due to a recent achievement in the platform of Adobe Flash (the one that allows the remote control, discovered last week), Adobe has proposed the Flash upgrade to the release candidate 7 (10.1) version. What I did. Could that be the cause? Hope not. If this is the case, then I will be happy to downshift until a solution has been found. However, the Java platform is perfectly updated and operational. And it's the 6.20 version, which is the latest public version.

  Well, I reformatted my hard drive and all restore factory settings.

  Everything worked fine... Until I installed again my Adobe CS5 Master Collection.

  So I started uninstalling the components one by one to see what worked...

  It turns out that Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended (or rather the 64-bit extension him) makes the sidebar go haywire.

  Uninstalled Acrobat 9 and no problems yet. Restarted several times to make sure.

  I hope that one day I'll find an update to Acrobat who sets. Maybe I'll go post in the Adobe forums for that one.

  Whatever it is, no biggie for me - I barely use Acrobat.
