Hello all! This is fun! I have been working on the RunScript command
for com-scripting Adobe Illustrator with pp.
Here is my take on running javascript files. the RunScript Function
will run the javascript and reset the focus to ILL.
In the pp beginners forum I posted a similar thread for "DoJavaScript"
which will let you "embed" javascript in your pp script to com-script ILL.
Function varlist()
global ILL = "Adobe Illustrator*"
global ILLE = "=Illustrator"
global ILLH = win.handle(ILL)
global ILLC = "illustrator"
global ILLX = ?"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator
CS3\Support Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe"
global scriptloc = ?"C:\Program Files\PowerPro\PPAI\" ;;whatever
folder the javascripts for ai are located
;--------------------------------------------------
Function ComLoad() ;;MAKE SURE TO CALL ....@comunload WHEN EXITING
FUNCTION CALLS!
....@varlist()
If(....@isrunning()==0)do
....@start()
wait.for(2000,activewindow(ILL))
Endif
global objname="Illustrator.Application" ;;++csver
global com_status, com_type
global appRef=com.create_object(objname)
Function ComUnload();;this is end the com calls and unload com
appRef.Release
com.unload
quit
;--------------------------------------------------
Function RunScript(whatscript, reset)
....@varlist()
....@comload()
appRef.DoJavaScriptFile(scriptloc ++ whatscript)
....@comunload()
if (reset == 1)do
win.setfocus(ILLH)
endif
quit
