How Do I Rotate Content, Not the Frame

I am in InDesign CS1.
I need to figure out how to affect the content of a placed image, not the surrounding frame. I know how to set the rotation angle of the selected object's frame:
set rotation angle of selection to 10
But for the life of me, I cannot understand how to leave the frame as it is and just rotate the content. I.E., normally, if I grab the direct selection tool and click an image (hovering over the image inside the frame turns to the hand tool), I can then manipulate the content without affecting the outside frame. But I want to do this with an AppleScript.
I also assume that if someone can open this door for me, it will then lead the way to being able to scale the content, without affecting the frame. But I cannot figure out the secret of "content" vs. "selection". Halp!
Thank you!

Your definitions are what I would expect, but for me, applying each version as one of these two separate scripts:
1)
tell application "InDesign CS"
activate
set rotation angle of selection to 10
end tell
2)
tell application "InDesign CS"
activate
set absolute rotation angle of selection to 10
end tell
Gives me the same result. The frame rotates and the content rotates with it.
Let me start over with my problem as that may help...
So let's say I have a frame and it has rotation 0˚. Inside the frame I have an object rotated to 5˚.
Applying either of those two scripts has the same result. The frame rotates to 10˚ and the content (when selected with the direct selection tool) now shows a rotation of 15˚.
But what I want is for the frame to stay at 0˚ and the content (when selected with the direct selection tool) to show a rotation of 15˚.
I am thinking this may be relates to the "Transform Content" and "Transformations Are Totals" preference settings. Both of which I have turned on. I know how to turn them on and off with an AppleScript, but it doesn't seem to be helping.

How do I rotate content, not the frame (Javascript)

Hi guys, I'm using InDesign CC 2014.
I need to figure out how to affect the content of a placed image, not the surrounding frame. I know how to set the rotation angle of the selected object's frame:
myRectagle = minhaPagina.rectangles.add(meuDocumento.layers.item(-1), undefined, undefined, {geometricBounds:[myY1, myX1, myY2, myX2], strokeWeight:0, strokeColor:meuDocumento.swatches.item("RED")});
myRectagle.rotationAngle = 45
For a frame, works fine, but I cannot understand how to leave the frame as it is and just rotate the content. I.E., normally, if I grab the direct selection tool and click an image (hovering over the image inside the frame turns to the hand tool), I can then manipulate the content without affecting the outside frame. But I want to do this with an JavaScript.
Regards!

Hello guys,
Turned out I even managed to solve the problem bit by now, for those who go through the same, following the solution:
Instead of:
myRectagle.rotationAngle = 45
used:
myRectagle.graphics[0].rotationAngle = 45
Regards to all.

How to import multiple files to the frame area?

How do I import multiple files to create animated GIF's. I
know how to import multiple files into the Fireworks, but if I'm
trying to create an animated gif that has alot of files, How do I
get them into the frames area. It is really a pain importing each
and every file one at a time frame by frame

after you bring in all your images to the canvas, select all
and in the
Frames Options drop down, select Distribute to Frames.
You can bring multiple images onto the canvas by copy and
pasting from
the folder(s) where they exist.

Since the weekend my Firefox 10.0.2 does not load the content of the frames when I connet to Facebook

I can log in and out of Facebook. The heading at the top of the home page loads, and so does the thin blue frame in which the content should be displayed. The page however stays blank. The same happens if I connect to a friend's profile. I also cannot search of display my profile wall of whatever.
My very old version of Microsoft Internet Explorer works perfectly, although it displays a warning about being outdated.
Google's Crome browser have the same problem as Firefox i.e. a blank screen.
I tried deleting cookies and cach. I tried reïnstalling Firefox. I even removed it completely, with al personal settings and stuff (and thus lost tweaks which I have been using for years) I the reïnstalled it... to no avail. I have tried using an old version (9.0.1) but it also just displays a blank screen.
If I DISable Javascript in Firefox my Facebook homepage loads, but the none of the buttons (eg "see more" , "display al nn comment" work. "See more" does not do anything and "disply all nn comments" displays a blank page.

I have found a solution to the problem on a Google Chrome forum where people were discussing the same problem in that browser. If you connect to
https://www.facebook.com (NOTE THE "S" which indicates a secure connection) Facebook wil display correctly.
The only problem is that you have to keep pasting the "https" in front of every link you follow. To make it permanent do the following. I paste from the site

Problem solved:
1. Login to your Facebook account in your browser.
2. Click on the Account on your top-right and select Account Settings from the drop down list.
3. Click on the Change link in front of the Account Security.
4. Put a checkmark in the checkbox labeled Browser Facebook on a secure connection (https).
5. Click on the blue Save button to save the settings.
Voila! Permanent https (secure browsing) on facebook and no more having to type in the "s" every time. :)

My galaxy s5 has a blank screen. How do I transfer content to the replacement phone if I can't use the one with the blank screen?

The screen on my Galaxy S5 suddenly went blank. I can still hear when I have a message and a call, but the screen will not turn on. I am getting a replacement phone today, but how do I transfer content when I can't see anything on my old phone, so I can't use it to go into the different settings?

I know its frustrating to have a blank screen on your phone JackiDawn. I'm happy you are receiving a replacement soon. Have you downloaded your data to the Cloud?

Why it doesn't work for the other days? When i tried to change the days other than wednesday. it return nothing.
Reason why Justin's code does not work for other days is date format mask DAY returns day blank padded to 9 characters which is the longest day name which, yes you guessed right, is WEDNESDAY. You either need to blank pad or use format modifier FM:

JS CS3 image rotation value not the same in Photoshop

I might be missing something but when I test the following line:
app.activeDocument.links[1].parent.rotationAngle;
The console returns -20. So if I try and apply this value to a Photoshop script.
app.activeDocument.rotateCanvas (-20);
The result is the image has rotated the wrong way.
Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks Jongware,
To check what I'm rotating I used the following:
app.activeDocument.links[1].parent.constructor.name
this returned Image and to be sure I tried:
app.activeDocument.links[1].parent.parent.constructor.name
This returned Rectangle.
So is the top line rotating the image or the frame? Or do you mean that ID only workers with frames and is not an image editing package so even though it returns Image it's still just the frame holding the image?
Cheers, John.

How to display DVD timecode to the frame level?

I know you can advance frame by frame with (assumes DVD
object is called "mydvd")
member("mydvd").frameStep(1)
but.......how do see what frame you see the frames in the DVD
controller object?
The DVD object only shows to the nearest sec it seems. Can I
change this or make a text field that will do it?
When doing trace (member("mydvd").currentTime), the command
only shows to the nearest sec. (even though it has the "00" and the
end for frames.....example 115 sec. = 11500
I tried this for a custom text field:
member("mytextfield").text = "" &
member("mydvd").currentTime
but this does not work ....it gives an error I was kind of
expecting to see at least the results of a trace command
It is strange that you can control a DVD frame by frame by
not view the frame you are actually on...there has to be a way
right?
any help would be great!!!
thanks

Anybody have any ideas on this?
I was thinking that if I could get below to work:
member("mytextfield").text = "" &
member("mydvd").currentTime
then I could create a button that would step a frame and
would make the text result, (text result + 1) to show a somewhat
more accurate timecode as I click.
However this could be off as much as 29 frames if the
playhead was at 04 sec 29 frames and it reported back 04 sec. as I
believe it does (at least for reporting back timecode)
any ideas on you to read the DVD timecode and place into a
text field....wish I could just add frames feature to the DVD
control component.

How can I highlight part of the frame and track it as it moves around in Final Cut Studio?

I'd like to highlight part of the frame by reducing the brightness of the surroundings. My idea was to duplicate the layer, reduce the opacity of the lower layer to 80% and crop the top layer to the area I want. Problem is this, how can I then follow the area of interest as it moves around the frame without laboriously keyframing and adjusting the cropped area every frame. Moving the cropped layer moves the content so that's no good. I definitely have the wrong approach here ... struggling ...

Regio blur (which I have and love btw) won't help me as I want everything sharp. I thought of using a box wipe transition the san duration as the clip with a cut in the middle to set the effect on and having it at 20% for example throughout and keyframing the center postion as required. Two problems with that, can't find a simple box wipe in effects (only centere wipe) and when I try it with other unsuitable wipes the size of the wipe changes when I adjust its centre position despite having the start and finish at the same percentage ... still working this one!

How do I make CS4 not blur frames together when I slow down footage.

I'm trying to get an effect similar to the oppening credits of Reservior Dogs, but whenever I slow down video, Premiere makes it look all ultra-smooth, which would be nice in most cases but in this one I want to just leave the frames as they are and not have any motion-smoothing. Any advice?

Okay, the Posterize Time effect didn't work (I just ended up with a blank screen), BUT, I found that when I export the video at the frame-rate I want it to be, it creates the effect perfectly. Thanks for your help anyway!

How to implement Search content of the PDF In Windows Store apps

Hi,
I Have Rendered PDF in Windows Store apps .I am not able to Search the Content of the PDF .Please Suggest me best Solution
Thanks
m venkatasuresh

You'll need to either interpret the PDF file yourself or find a 3rd party PDF component.
The in-box PDF renderer produces a non-searchable image rather than text (I suppose you could
OCR the rendered image, but that's a pretty ugly solution)
