Events on textFrames

Hello,
Is it possible to watch for events on textFrames?
I put an addEventListenerToObject on a textFrame but no responses.
Any Ideas?
Michel

Nope.
You can try APID:

A link issue, conflict between hyperlink and textframe

Hi all,
I noticed some unpredictable behavior after creating a normal textual hyperlink in a textframe. Although the link appeared ok when previewing (both in Muse preview mode, as in a preview browser (Chrome)) it had suddenly changed its state when I was about to click it. After some puzzled attempts I noticed that the hyperlink changes into the 'hover' state once the mouse is over the textframe which contains the link, and not the link itself. When I click the link the behavior is as predicted, but moving off the textframe, and re-entering gives the same effect. Somehow the textframe catches the mouseover event, in stead of the link. Is there a way to disable this behavior, and target the hyperlink in stead? Many thanks in advance. (I searched for this issue in the forum, and encountered similar issues with menus, but not with textframes, if I overlooked an answer, my apologies in advance.

Hi Abhishek,
Yes, you did it again. I checked the states of the text-field (didn't discover this option until now), and found that the field itself somehow had states. Now I understand why the states of the hyperlinks were overruled. Assuming that these field-states can be removed I selected the uppermost state, and clicked the trash-can. The links behave normally now. Following your suggestion I post a couple of screenshots (it doesn't show the mouse position) of the unwanted situation, and of the corrected version:
Above: this is the default state with the links in the text field defined in 2 distinct styles, and the mouse somewhere off the field.
Above: this is the unwanted situation where the mouse enters the text-field without rolling over individual links, they jump into 'hover'.
Above, this is the wanted situation, the text-field has no states anymore, the mouse hovers over the text-field, and over the encircled link, which behaves accordingly.
Nifty, I now realise that there are many things you can easily overlook here ;-)
Thanks again Abhishek.
This thoughtful product support is as good as Adobe's customer support in general.
Next time I encounter unexpected issues, I will thoroughly check all possibilities.
Cheers,

InDesign: Scripting, Events, documentation?

I'm looking for a complete event model for InDesign (server, workstation, et al)
Is this buried somewhere in the Object Model Viewer in ESTK? Elsewhere?
Initially, I'm trying to figure out what event(s) fire(s) when a new textframe gets added to [story].textFrames. Who am I looking for, document? Story? [story]textFrames? What event(s) fire? I look in ESTK/OMV, under Class / Instance docs for textFrame(s), but nothing seemingly useful is listed.
To quote Sallah and Indy, "They're digging in the wrong place."
Thanks.

Did you ever find documentation on the event model? I am running into a problem which such documentation would be helpful. In my case I am trying to force a change to an indd file on beforeSave. However the changes are not reflected in the file's preview thumbnail image (which was the goal).
I have looked high and low but can not find any docs on the ordering of events firing and how they relate to other functions. Apparently the preview image is not generated during Save().
The docs at http://jongware.mit.edu/idcs5/ is nice and convienent, but it is not much more data there than you find in the toolkit.

Grouping labeled textframes

Hi scripters
i cant group two labeled textframes, where i am wrong in the below script
x = app.activeDocument.textFrames.item("Fig");
y = app.activeDocument.textFrames.item("Cap");
g = app.activeDocument.groups.add([x,y]);
ERROR
Adobe InDesign
JavaScript Error!
Error Number: 30477
Error String: Invalid value for parameter 'groupItems' of event 'add'. Expected Array of PageItems, but received nothing.
Line: 21
Source: g = app.activeDocument.groups.add([x,y]);
OK
thanks in advance
regards
a r u l

x = app.activeDocument.textFrames.item("Fig");
y = app.activeDocument.textFrames.item("Cap");
g = app.activeDocument.groups.add([x,y]);

are you sure that x and y "contains" TextFrames ?
InDesign's message is clear - Expected Array of PageItems, but received nothing - x or y or both are "empty"

How can I see Calendar event END times at a glance?

How can I display my Calendar event titles exactly as I type them? I do not want Calendar to remove duration from the titles of my events. Otherwise I can't see event END times at a glance in month view; only start times. How can I "trick" Calendar to just show my titles as I type them - as I always could before I upgraded. I used to be able to enter "Seminar 9am-5:45" and it would appear that way regardless of how or what I chose to enter (or not enter) for duration.
I am running OSX 10.9.3.

It's a bit weird, but if you type in the time info TWICE into the event title then Calendar uses/deletes one of them to populate the event details and leaves the other.

Event List view in iCal?

I would love to have an Event List view in iCal like I do on the calendar on my iPhone. Is there such a thing? The particular reason for wanting it (this time) is that one of the calendars in the ON MY MAC list has a number in a oval to the right.
I believe this is trying to tell me that there is a new event that I need to do something about. Problem is, I don't know where to find it.

ecernek,
There is no event list option on iCal like the one on the iPhone.
That number means that you have an event invitation. Use iCal>View>Show Notifications to choose what to do with the notification.

Can I show a color bar instead of a color bullet in iCal Monthly view for all my events in all calendars?

In the Monthly view of iCal the only events that show a color bar in the event is the Birthday Calendar. All other events in all my other calendars only show a color bullet next to the event (unless I click on that event which then shows as a color bar). I would like to know if it is possible for all the calendar events to have a color bar in the monthly view instead of just that tiny color bullet.

Greetings Judith,
Before making any attempts at deleting calendar data, backup what you have just in case:
Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
iCal has an automated function located in iCal > Preferences > Advanced > Delete events "X" days after they have passed. By typing in a value for days you can tell iCal to delete all events before that time frame.
Example:
Today is 4-16-2012.
If I wanted to delete all events prior to 1 year ago (4-16-2011) I would type in "365" for the number of days.
Once you type in the number of days you want kept in iCal, close the preferences and then quit iCal.
Re-open iCal and check to see if the events are gone. If not you may want to leave it open for several minutes and then quit again.
Once the events are removed go back to iCal > Preferences > Advanced > Delete events "X" days after they have passed and make sure the check mark is removed to prevent future deletion.
Hope that helps.

Can you show at a glance which event images are in albums?

Say I had an event containing multiple similar but different images, is there a way to show in the grid view for example which images have already been used in one or more albums?
Would be handy to be able to select a 'show list of albums containing this image'dialogue box. I guess you could hide images you've used but that wouldn't work automatically, nor would any other tagging/rating.
Another approach would be to make albums containing everything in a given event, then move the images out of that album once used, just seems fiddly to me.

Would be handy to be able to select a 'show list of albums containing this image'dialogue box.
Yes it would and many people have suggested tit. Add your voice to the chorus at iPhoto Menu -> Provide Apple Feedback.
A workaround - and it's no better - is to go to an album and select al, then give all those pics a keyword. Then in grid view you can see which pics have the keyword. (View -> Keywords)

Mandy,
Its really strange that its not able to caputure the event in CO.
Below is the way in which we handle to Submit action at CO level.
/Check whether ClearBtn is same in case too.
if(pageContext.getParameter("ClearBtn")!=null){
System.out.println("Inside the Clear Btn Action");

When I sync my iPod to my MacBook through iTunes new events do not show up and old events are not deleted. I am using Snow Leopard and not iSync.

I am using Snow Leopard on a MacBook. I have an iPod touch 3G. I do not use iSync it Mobile Me. When I sync my iPod through iTunes new events on my iPod do not show up on my Mac and old events do not delete. I have read help instructions that include deleting the data on the iPod. The iPod has the correct data and the Mac does not so I have not followed those instructions. I need help as the only reason I bought the Mac was to be able to sync, back up, view and print my calendar. Currently it is useless. If only Apple could have learned from the elegance of the Palm software.

Try the following
close all browser windows and open Windows Explorer
in the address bar type %appdata%\Adobe
delete the 'Flash Player' folder in there
in the address bar type %appdata%\Macromedia
delete the 'Flash Player' folder in there
Now try again to change any Flash Player settings.
