How to add justification correctly?

Question

Hi Scripters,
I am new in scripting in InDesign. In my XML Import I tried to add a justification to my different textranges.
My Problem, I can't set 3 different justifications in 1 textframe. With the textpoint size and the color it works fine.
If I set a justification, all textranges are left, leftJustified or right..
My example how I tried to do it:
preIndex = nTF.insertionPoints[-1].index;
nTF.insertionPoints[-1].contents = XMLdata[i]['title'];
endIndex = nTF.insertionPoints[-1].index;
// Textbereich wählen und Formatierung zuweisen
myRange = nTF.insertionPoints.itemByRange(preIndex,  endIndex);
myRange.justification = Justification.leftAlign;
myRange.pointSize = 12;
nTF.insertionPoints[-1].contents = "\n";
nTF.insertionPoints[-1].contents = "\n";
preIndex = nTF.insertionPoints[-1].index;
nTF.insertionPoints[-1].contents = XMLdata[i]['description']; // Inhalt hinter die letzte Position des bereits vorhandenen Textframes setzen
endIndex = nTF.insertionPoints[-1].index;
//nTF.selectTextStyleRange.justification = Justification.LEFT_JUSTIFIED;
// Textbereich wählen und Formatierung zuweisen
myRange = nTF.insertionPoints.itemByRange(preIndex,  endIndex);
myRange.justification = Justification.leftJustified;
myRange.pointSize = 8;
nTF.insertionPoints[-1].contents = "\n";
preIndex = nTF.insertionPoints[-1].index;
nTF.insertionPoints[-1].contents = XMLdata[x]['ean-number']; // Inhalt hinter die letzte Position des bereits vorhandenen Textframes setzen
endIndex = nTF.insertionPoints[-1].index;
//nTF.textStyleRanges[-1].justification = Justification.RIGHT_ALIGN;
// Textbereich wählen und Formatierung zuweisen
myRange = nTF.insertionPoints.itemByRange(preIndex,  endIndex);
myRange.justification = Justification.rightAlign;
myRange.pointSize = 8;
best regards

You can set text size and color because those are Character attributes. Justification is a Paragraph attribute -- it makes sense that tou cannot set both left and right justification in a single paragraph.
I fast-read your code (which is a bit unreadable due to Jive), and at a glance seems you are using "\n" to "separate" paragraphs with. Is that correct? If so, well, don't. It inserts a soft line break instead of a paragraph return (which, you might want to know, is "\r").
