[AS] FLIP horizontally

Hi
I am trying to flip horizontally a rectangle in my doc, and having no luck in finding information to do this, can some one please tell me how to do this.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
set myDocument to active document
set theRuler to zero point of myDocument
if theRuler is not {0, 0} then
set zero point of myDocument to {0, 0}
end if
set properties of view preferences to {ruler origin:page origin, horizontal measurement units:millimeters, vertical measurement units:millimeters}
select last rectangle of page 1 of document 1
set {a, b, c, d} to bounds of page 1 of document 1
set theSel to selection
set {w, x, y, z} to geometric bounds of item 1 of theSel
move theSel by {(d / 2 - (x + z) / 2), (c - y) - 20}
flip horizontally theSel -- not sure how to flip horizontally --
end tell
cheers Kev

flip item theSel given horizontal around center anchor<br /><br />-- <br />Shane Stanley <[email protected]><br />AppleScript Pro Sessions <a href=http://scriptingmatters.com/aspro>

  • After ios5 update, photos and safari cannot flip horizontally

    It seems the function to flip horizontally has disappeared.  It isn't only with photos and safari, but games or anything that had the ability to do so.  Thanks!

    That really *****!
    Okay... probably you tried it many times allready. But you're iphone should have made a back up in itunes.
    You can find this back in the devices list.
    Try again to reset your iphone (press home button and off switch untill the screen goes black and the apple logo appears)
    restart your computer and start up itunes, after itunes runs connect your iphone. Please do it in this order, that is what really worked for me. If this does not work contact apple. Because it can not be that people really lost everything!
    Good luck! I will keep my fingers crossed for you

  • Unable to flip horizontal wordart into Word 2010?

    In Word 2003 whilst using wordart I could easily take some text and then flip it horizontally via the drawing tool bar -> draw -> Rotate or Flip -> Flip Horizontal.
    If I try the same method in Word 2010 and then select the wordart object -> Drawing Tools -> Format -> Rotate -> and then select Flip Horizontal nothing happens!
    HELP!

    Between Word 2007 and Word 2010, the graphics engine was completely changed. While it does many things much better than the old engine, the new one has lost some capabilities, including this one.
    Fortunately, for backward compatibility the old engine is still invoked for documents that are in Word 97-2003 (*.doc) format, and that fact can be used to fake out Word 2010.
    Make a new document (or a copy of the current document) and save it as a Word 97-2003 file. The title bar should include the notation [Compatibility Mode].
    Insert your WordArt in this document (note that you won't be able to use any of the fancy effects introduced in Word 2010; this is the  *old* WordArt) and use the Flip Horizontal command to get the
    desired effect.
    Copy the flipped art from that document and paste it into the Word 2010 document, or click File > Convert to take it out of compatibility mode. The pasted WordArt will still be the old style, but any
    new ones you add to the same document will be the new style.

  • ? about Flip Horizontal w/ paths

    I'm a bit of a newbie and had a question. I'm learning how to use the drawing tools in Photoshop. I've drawn a simple path, and select it with the Path Selection tool. The problem is when I go to Edit > Transform Path, the Flip Horizontal, Flip Vertical, and Rotate 90/180 options are disabled. I can use the other transform options as well as Free Transform Path without problem. Why am I not able to use features like Flip Horizontal?
    Many thanks for any help.

    go to Edit->Free Transform Path and then choose the Flip Horizontal/Vertical commands (you can also access them by right-clicking in the image)

  • Javascript, Text frame - Flip Horizontal

    I just don't understand javascript very well yet.
    I want to flip horizontally, a text frame, on it's center/in place. (Yes, I want the text to be wrong reading.)
    the name of the text frame is smallTXXX and the indesign document will be open at the time the script is run. (I need to add this to an existing javascript.)
    Thank you, I can't figure out how to piece this one together.

    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var tf = doc .textFrames.item("smallTXXX");
    tf.flipItem(Flip.HORIZONTAL, AnchorPoint.CENTER_ANCHOR);

  • Why is the flip horizontal or vertical  moving the frame or image?

    (CS6) Why is the flip horizontal/vertical moving the frame or image instead of just flipping it in the current frame position? CS5 did not do this.

    It flips around the point you've picked in the Transform Proxy in the upper left of the Control panel (and has always done so). Click the center point and you'll get what you want.

  • IPhone screen won't flip horizontally for videos

    After I upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 my screen won't flip horizontally for video clips. It does flip for YouTube but not for music videos.
    Please fix!!

    This is ridiculous.  Half the time it will go horizontally to a song that isn't even playing.  The other half of the time it's a tiled screen with album covers.  They have the most stupid things that don't work right!

  • Flip Horizontal and Flip Vertical

    Hello Adobe,
    Bridge implements rotate 90 cw, 90 ccw, and 180. Having these functions available as a right-click / cmd-click context menu is extremely convenient.
    However, what about the companion flip horizontal and flip vertical operations ? This is a very common thing to want to do - particularly when working with scanned transparency images. Adobe Lightroom implements this - I belive.
    Bridge team, can you add this small feature please ?
    Sincerely,
    Craig Hansen-Sturm

    You can do multiple photo flips in Develop if you turn AutoSync on.  Just make sure to turn it back off as it can cause all kinds of accidental messes

  • How to flip horizontally

    I have a QuickTime movie that I want to simply flip horizontally and save.
    Same contents, just flipped left to right.
    What's the easiest way to do this?

    Assuming that you have QuickTime Pro, open the movie, go to the Window menu on the menu bar at the top of the screen, select "Show movie properties", click the video track and click the "Visual settings" button. Use the Flip button with a double-ended horizontal arrow.

  • Preview will not 'flip horizontally'  a pdf

    Recently I just upgraded to 10.4.10 (from 10.3)...Using Preview to open a PDF, it will no longer flip (mirror) a pdf file vertical or horizontal. The option to do so shows in 'tools' but the text is grey like the command is not available. It will however, flip a jpeg or tiff. If there is not a fix for this, then what about installing an older version of Preview on the newer OS? How would that be done?

    What did you convert to PDF? And how did you convert it?

  • Flip Horizontal/Vertical and Rounded Corners Shortcut Keys

    This is missing and annoying to do with the tool or the transform palette flyout. Pretty sure you can't even set your own shortcut within the program.  Please add this standard.
    In the meantime if you have autohotkey I made this script to map the alt menu to do it.
    I've also added better blend shortcuts and rounded corners.
    ^ means control
    + means shift
    ! means alt
    ; means comment
    #IfWinActive ahk_class illustrator
    ;Create Blend
    ^b::!^b
    ;Blend Options
    ^+b::Send !obo
    ;Roundcorners with preview already checked
    ^+r::Send !csr{tab}{space}{tab}{tab}{tab}
    ;FlipH
    ^+h::Send !otev{Enter}
    ;FlipV
    ^+v::Send !oteh{Enter}

    Thanks. You're right...unfortunately the bgcolor still bleeds
    through. Check it out. Any ideas?

  • How to disable horizontal flip while recording a movie?

    I'm trying to screen and movie record at the same time while playing a game but for some reason movie recording automatically flips horizontally, (I know you can flip it after you record)  thing is, I'm not gonna record the actual movie, because I just need the window open while screen recording. Help please?

    On my system, if I take a movie full screen the second monitor goes black.   I didn't do anything to make that happen but I'll play with my monitor order to see if that matters.

  • Lightroom 1.2 flipped images horizontally

    I've noticed since my update that several Folders have the images flipped Horizontally. Anybody else have this problem? Any ideas for a fix other than manually selecting images in bunches and flipping back. PITA..
    On a Intel iMac.

    No, mostly from a Nikon D200 and I really don't use Bridge anymore. It only happened recently after the update in files I hadn't gone into before the update, so I'm assuming, though that's a big if with computer stuff, that it happened because of the update. I also don't have mirror enabled. In fact, honestly, I'm not sure what the mirror function is,but I haven't ever used it.
