Select all the script maps

Hi all

Hoping someone out there can help, I need my script to end with one of the following 3 options:

Select all: as in "cmd one"

Select all the objects on the layer "Tabs".

Select all the objects with the Script title boxes"tabs".

Reason being, when the script ends I need a bunch of boxes to be pre-selected loan for a manual deselect by 1 point (chosen by the user) and then they Deletes selected objects manually to finish. (I didn't understand my original script here as has no impact on the autonomous part I need for the final selection)

Hoping that this is a simple script but as it is rare to have a script of object selection and not do something with them, I think it's impossible to create.

Thank you, Bren

Read the object model and you will find that the equivalent script Cmnd + A is as follows:

app.selection = null;
pItems = app.windows[0].activeSpread.pageItems;
app.select (pItems, SelectionOptions.ADD_TO);

To select all items in the layer tab page, filter the items in the page:

app.selection = null;
pItems = app.windows[0].activeSpread.pageItems;

for (i = pItems.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
  if (pItems[i].itemLayer.name === 'Tab') {
    app.select (pItems[i], SelectionOptions.ADD_TO);
  }
}

To select objects with a certain script label is a variant of the (or an addition to) the second script.

  • How to select all the text in the active text block?

    Hello!

    I need a simple script for:

    2. Paste from the Clipboard (ctrl + V)

    3. go in the beginning new text (ctrl + Home)

  • by selecting all the blocks of text on all visible layers

    I want to select all the blocks of text on all visible layers.

    the script below will select all the blocks of text, even in groups, but if the layer with the text is invisible the script error. (target layer cannot be changed)

    If (app.documents.length > 0) {}

    var doc = app.activeDocument;

    var numTextFrames = 0;

    for (i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i ++) {}

    textArtRange = doc.textFrames [i];

    textArtRange.selected = true;

    }

    }

    So I made this script to select blocks of text on only visible layers, but now missing text belonging to a group.

    var layerCount = activeDocument.layers.length;

    var docSelected = activeDocument.selection;

    for (i = 0; i < layerCount; i ++)

    {

    currentLayer = activeDocument.layers [i];

    If (currentLayer.visible == visible)

    {

    for (j = 0; j < currentLayer.textFrames.length; j ++) {}

    textArtRange = currentLayer.textFrames [j];

    textArtRange.selected = true;

    }

    }

    }

    can someone tell me why it is not some frames of text bound in a group when made this way and is it possible to get all managers of related texts selected on all visible layers?

    Thank you

    Duane

    Try this:

    if (app.documents.length > 0 ) {
        var doc = app.activeDocument;
        var numTextFrames = 0;
        for (  i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i++ ) {
            try {
            textArtRange = doc.textFrames[i];
            textArtRange.selected = true;
            } catch (e) {}
            }

  • Method to select all the layers 'invisible '?

    Hello

    Does anyone know if there is a plugin or a way to select all the invisible layers in a photoshop file automatically with a single click?
    It would be really handy when it comes to huge photoshop with lots of files files and layers...

    Screen shot 2012-11-12 at 15.22.36.png

    Kind regards

    Ben

    Not sure on the hiden targeting all the layers in a single click, but you can filter so that no visible layers only show, then it is easy to target all.  (On the tab of the layer panel, choose attribute, then no Visible)

    Might be possible to write a script or an action recording to do the same thing?

  • 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.

  • 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 all the text fields at a given time in Adobe Reader ms?

    I created a document that contains more than one text field I created with Acrobat Pro DC, I want to allow the user the ability to select all fields in order to change the text size/color and fonts at the same time... not having to go through the entire form and must make each field separately. To be a little more specific, the document is two pages with six place/lounge cards per page, designed for weddings and other events. Each place card has a field for 'user name' and ' number of table: my question is...» Is it possible to 'select all fields' in Adobe Reader? If I go to Edition > select all, the program selects all graphics and none of the text fields. Not exactly what I'm missing here and I can not find my answer online. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    In this case, you can only change the properties of the text selected within a field. Acrobat Reader cannot change the properties of the text field.
