Evaluating text as code in PS JavaScript

Is there a way to evaluate text as code in JavaScript. For example, I'm writing a script that generates random noise patterns based on settings the user inputs through a dialog. There are default settings for each element of the noise generation, but I'm now including an .ini file to store settings the user might prefer as the default (similar to the Shadows/Highlights dialog settings).
This is how the .ini file is set up:
startSize=10
scaleSize=18
noiseAmt=22
loopNum=35
I'm wondering if when I read in the line using setting=file.readln(); is there a simple way to have the code evaluate that and set the variable to the value? So for the first line, it would set a variable named startSize to the value of 10.
I know I could simply put the value on a line by itself and read it in setting a variable to the .readln() return. I wanted to make this easier to manually edit should someone want to do this without opening the dialog.
Or, am I stuck with parsing through the line to set a variable to a value after the = ?
Thank you.

I found it. Sorry.
$.evalFile(); works for this.

How do i save the source code of a javascript alert in safari?

I am trying to save the source code of the javascript alert in safari but the menu items blank out.
Is this even possible?
dave

Eventhought it is a usefull function which i did not know about it is not helping me. This is what hapens.
I request an url and get a javascript alert back from the server. The javascript alert triggers that is i get a popup where I can only press ok. If i do not press ok i can not do anything else. the safari menu's are greyed out. if i do press ok i get redirected and i can not read the javascript page with your suggestion.
what i want is read the source for that javascript alert so i know what it says (my filemaker database that is) but because that option is greyed out i am stuck.
here is the link i use to get the javascript popup:
https://www.login.alex.nl/klanten/portfolio/portefeuille-xls.asp?print=true
the javascript says i am not loged in.
if i get this javascript alert in firefox i can ask for the sourcecode, read it and do stuff that is log in. I just do not understand how i can change safari so it does the same thing as firefox.
thanks again

PLSQL code in a javascript code

Can i write the PLSQL code in a javascript code?
Actually i want to pass a value into a PLSQL code. First in javascript code i have to read a value of page item :PX_ITEM, then i have to pass that value in PLSQL code.

Can i write the PLSQL code in a javascript code?No.
PL/SQL runs in the database on the server. JavaScript runs in the browser on the client. Never the twain shall meet.
Passing values between them requires a page submit or AJAX call.

Textfield text link to run a javascript

I created a text link in a textfield by highlighting the text then right clicking and selecting hyperlink. The hyperlink panel opens up but it only allows for a website to be entered as far as I can tell. I would like to run a javascript onclick instead of opening a web page, is this possible?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick response George. I tried that also and it didn't work . Security restrictions doesn't make sense though because I can use the hyperlink tool over the text and and run a javascript from it. The only problem with that method is it doesn't work with a scrollable textfield.

Spry Validation Text Box - Playing Nicely w/ Javascript

Greetings-
I'm using the Spry Validation Text Fields in a registration
form I'm designing. I really like the validation they provide.
However, I'm trying to get them to play nicely with a password
validation Javascript code that gets called when the form is
submitted:
Form Example
The password validation JS compares the two email fields to
make sure they are both the same. The JS is called when the form is
submitted.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

</script>
However, this disables the Spry text field validations. I'm
most certain my "OnSubmit" code causes the Spry validation to not
execute.
Any gurus have some ideas around this?
Thank you.

Your are going to love this...
I confirmed I have the constructor same as yours. Only difference in your code and mine is I did not have the validateOn blur in the Javascript, but rather was using the default validation on submission. However, I dutifully added that, just to replicate your test exactly and to look at apples to apples. The code is still throwing up the validation messages.
Stumped, I took a break, played a video game, cleared the mind and started the process of carefully and logically working the code for about the umpteenth time in the last 24 hours.
Given this validation is working just fine on the page where new items are created, I laid out that pages code next to the edit page code and started going through line by line... and Eureka! No reference in my edit page head to the SpryValidationTestField.js... (**red faced, banging head on desk**)
That's 2 for 2 with you helping me realize its not the Spry code, so it must be something else and that something else, once again, was me. The human error element. If I hit strike three down the road I deserve a sound verbal thrashing...
Once again I am in your debt and you have my gratitude!
Thank you Gramps!

Layer Source Text linking to external text. (no code in doc!)

I've seen linking to text documents with code snippets in it.
So that means the external text document must contain bits of scripting.
I would like to link to txt documents (or csv) that do not contain code.
Total noob users must be able to link a text to a After Effects project.
I have a website data catcher which exports CSV values.
It would be ideal if After Effects can hoover up the text and put certain pieces into certain source texts.
We're talking automated sports cards here.
Is this possible without adding code to a text dump?
Or is this just impossible?

The basic idea is to use something like this:
myPath = "/c/test/txt.txt";
$.evalFile (myPath);
The text file does need to contain legal JavaScript code, but it could be as simple as this for a text layer:
"this is a test"
You generally want to wrap the $.evalFile() in a try/catch so that you can have an error string like "Not found." display if your path is bad, like this:
myPath = "/c/badpath/txt.txt";
try{
$.evalFile (myPath);
}catch(err){
"Not found."

Problem with embedding Flash Text/HTML Code

Hey all, im new to DW and just created a html page with a
black background and a picture. I also added a flash text called
"Enter Forum" by using "Insert>Media>Flash Text"
When i copy and paste the code that is generated in the
"Code" section/tab on to my server in the index/html and go to view
my site it is not there. I uploaded the .swf file to my server
also, i have played around with the coding a bit to see if i was
doing anythng wrong but nothing works. Below is the code DW renders
to me. I simply copy and paste this code that DW renders and paste
it in to my server's index.html (Main Page) file. I checked the emd
src and all thats correct.

Can you post the url to show us the page on your server? If
you copied
everything, it could be you have too many doc types, headers
and body tags
in your index.html page.

Removing code from a javascript file-i.e. Photoshop Flash Web Gallery

Hi There, I have a question about the Photoshop Flash Gallery, particularly the flashobject.js file and index.html file. Whenever I try and open the finished Flash Gallery HTML page, I get a message that says "Please upgrade your Flash player" and "Already have Flash player installed? Click Here." Is there a way that I can remove that and just have it go to the Flash Gallery? I notice that it says Flash Player 6 but that is an old version. I am not very knowledgeable in javascript so any help would be appreciated.

This would be the least instrusive hack I can find that may get you around the problem. In the js fle there is a function...
function detectFlash(ver) {
if (getFlashVersion() >= ver) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
Try changing this function to...
function detectFlash(ver) {
if (getFlashVersion() >= ver) {
return true;
} else {
return true;
This should eliminate making the text appear. If not, there's another thing you can try.
A better approach wuld be to use more up to date embedding code, though I cannot say whether the js file is written specifically for this Flash application such that it includes code that talks to the Flash file.

Similar Java Code but in JavaScript...

Hi... My doubt is really simple... I have this Java Code:
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(this.getIdtFechaHastaField().getClientId(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()), new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR, "Se necesita un valor", null));
That let me show a "balloon text message" (I didn't find the words but the code should be familiar) !; Is there any JavaScript code that let me do the same ?...
Thankx !.

I have two inputdates and I would to achieve the following before going to the server...
1. That they have the correct format
2. And that the first date isn't after the second date
So If I go the the server, with the code I posted It appears a balloon message showing a "certain message" according to the problem... So the thing is that I would like to this in the client side... But I would like to know if there is a JS Script to do that ?... Hope I was clear... Cheers

How do I clear a form text field during validation using JavaScript?

I am just learning JavaScript and the Acrobat API. I have a form created in adobe acrobat 9 standard (starting from an existing form in MS Excel). There is a text field for a Social Security Number. I have a custom format script and keystroke script and a custom validation script. I would like to add to the existing validation script, that if what is entered doesn't match the validation test, then clear out the field as in erase all the characters that were typed into the field. I want this to happen no matter what. So even if someone filled in a valid SSN number and then moved to the next field, but then went back to the SSN field and decided to change their entry and this new entry was "invalid" then clear out the field (do not revert to what was typed in the field originally, even though it was considered valid by the script). (There is currently no default value for this field.) Thank you inadvance for you help on this.
Here is the current validation script:
// only run when field not blank
if (event.value != "")
// RegExp for validation #########
var re = /^(\d{3})(\d{2})(\d{4})$/
if(re.test(event.value) == false)
app.alert("Enter a 9-digit Social Security number with no spaces or special characters (e.g., 555555555). It will be converted to the format 555-55-5555.")
     //Here is where I've tried adding all of these lines, but none of them will clear out what is in the field
          //this.resetForm([event.target.name]);
          //event.target.value == "";
          //getField("SSN 1").value = getField("SSN 1").defaultValue;
          //getField("SSN 1").value == "";
          //event.rc = false;
And incase these are somehow affecting it, here are the other scripts being processed on this field:
Keystroke script:
var input=event.value;
var chars=input.length;
if( event.willCommit || chars==8 )this.getField("Name 1").setFocus();
Format script:
var re = /^(\d{3})(\d{2})(\d{4})$/
if(re.test(event.value) == true)
// add "-"
event.value = RegExp.$1 + "-" + RegExp.$2 + "-" + RegExp.$3;

Thank you very much. I did try that before, but I was using event.value == ""; I guess in this case I'm assigning the value of "", not making the value equal "".

PDF export to word not working, conversion shows text as code.

I am working with Adobe acrobat pro, and cannot seem to export my PDf file without the text resulting in incomprehensible code. The images in the PDf convert beautifully, however.
I have followed the directions listed on the website, and have enable ORC, but it has not helped.
PDF file info:
PDF Producer: Mac OSX 10/9.5 Quartz PDFContext
PDF Version: 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x)
File size: 1.29 MB
Tagged PDF: No
Fast Web View: No
Security: None
xmpCore properties: xmp:Creator Tool: Microsoft word
Illustrator: StartupProfile: Print

Could you post the PDF or a page of it so that we can try it. I actually still have AA5 on one machine, though everything else is more current. If you can also post your DOC result it would help too. You can post on Acrobat.com or dropbox and leave the link here.

How do I move text up - Code Included

Hi,
I have a couple of questions regarding my code. Please copy and paste in a browser to see the formatting etc.
1. First, does the code look correct?
2. How can I get the text in orange to move up closer to the paragraph above it? I don't understand why the orange text can't go right below the paragraph?
3. I used " " to add a break or separate the lines of text. Is this correct?

It's valid but not optimal. Just adjust the top/bottom margins on adjacent paragraphs to manage this kind of thing.

[JS] Is it possible to create a 'jquery plugin' or other code abbreviations for JavaScript/Indesign?

Hi someone or everyone,
Upon comming in contact with jquery I instantly became aware of the secret behind it's popularity. It 'shortened' bits of code, functions and other, into easily managed text that makes sense almost at first glance. Is this a thing that can be done with indesign?

So you basically do this:
#include "../extendables.jsx"
And that will allow you to include a function library. From there you can build a jquery library for js/id.
