How to move the anchor object in indesign cs2 using js?

i can able to move the normal textframe and other objects but cant do this for anchor objects.
syntex: anchorobject.move([x value,y value],undefined,true)
how to move the anchor objects?
thanks

Could it be that the anchord object in question won't move because you have it set to keep within margins which is preventing the move you're requesting? I've certainly run into that.
I've also run into the situation where the object model thinks the anchored object is in one place when it is actually in another because of that same keep within margins option. In this case, a move will apparently not work because the move is invisible, it being completely outside of the margins -- although that only applies to relative moves, I think.

How to move some xml element and its content to a new frame

Hi All,
How to move some xml element and its content to a new frame.

Hi Chinnadk,
Sorry my code its comment some lines. Now only I check the forum thread, you just try one more time.
#target InDesign;
#include "/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe InDesign CS5.5/Scripts/XML Rules/glue code.jsx"
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
//____________________ XML RULE SET
var myRuleSet = new Array (new margintag);
with(myDoc){
    var elements = xmlElements;
    __processRuleSet(elements.item(0), myRuleSet);
function margintag(){
    this.name = "margintag";
    //this.xpath = "//margintag[@type='mn2']";
    this.xpath = "//margintag";
    this.apply = function(myElement, myRuleProcessor){
        with(myElement){
            app.select(myElement);
            try{
                var myPrePara = app.selection[0].paragraphs[-1].parentTextFrames[0].paragraphs.previousItem(app.selection[0].paragraphs[-1]);
                if(myPrePara.characters[-1].contents=="\r"){

                var myTextframe = myElement.placeIntoInlineFrame(["7p9","6p"]);
                myTextframe.appliedObjectStyle= myDoc.objectStyles.item("MN1");

How do I create an object with "click and drag" interaction?

I want do make an object that I can move around the screen at will, so, I need a way to make a click and drag object in adobe edge.
I also need this to work with touch devices and also to limit the movement of the object to one direction (x or y).
Thank you all in advance.

Thanks for your reply. I tried doing what you said, creating a command by opening a new flash file, etc. For some reason, I could make a rectangle and save that as a command, but making a shape using the polystar command didn't work - there was a red "x" next to it in the history panel.
Anyway, even if I could do that, it's not what I want to do. I want to be able to create a shape and then be able to change the shape dynamically. For instance, I want to be able to create a series of points and draw curves between them to create a closed curve shape. Then I want to be able to change the positions of the vertices so that the shape changes as the .swf is running. Thanks.

Move a Rectangle object

Hi guys
I'm just trying to create an applet that draws a shape such as a rectangle that will allow the user to click on the rectangle, then move the mouse and the shape will be re-drawn at the point where the mouse is released.
Any ideas where i can start, pointers greatly appreciated.

Here is the program you posted (with my corrections) which works
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Test extends Applet
                            implements MouseListener
    private Color color = Color.black;
        int x1, y1, x2, y2 = 0;
int width, height = 0;
int startX, startY = 0;
boolean drawObject = false;
     boolean moveObject = false;
     Rectangle myRectangle = new Rectangle(startX,startY,width,height);
    public void init()
        setBackground(Color.gray);
        addMouseListener(this);
        int i = 5;
    public void paint(Graphics g)
          //recover Graphics2D
            Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
          g2.setColor(color);
             if(drawObject){
                 //create Rectangle Object
                        myRectangle = new Rectangle(startX,startY,width,height);
                      g2.draw(myRectangle);}
          else if (moveObject){
                   g2.drawString("MOVE", 100,100); //just testing here
                     myRectangle.setLocation(x2,y2);}
    //--> Start of section dealing with Mouse Events
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
    public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e)
    public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e)
    public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
           x1 = e.getX();
          y1 = e.getY();
          //Check to see if mouse is pressed in the current rectangle.
            if(myRectangle.contains(x1,y1))
                       //move the object instead of moving it
                  drawObject = false;
                     moveObject = true;
               else
                       //draw the object, don't move
                   drawObject = true;
                      moveObject = false;
    public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
               //get the positions of where the mouse was released
             x2 = e.getX();
          y2 = e.getY();
          if (x1 != x2 && y1 != y2){
          //maths to work out where to draw the object
            if(x1 < x2 && y1 < y2){//1
                      startX = x1;
                    startY = y1;
                    height = y2 - y1;
                       width = x2 - x1;}
               else if (x1 > x2 && y1 > y2){//2
                        startX = x2;
                    startY = y2;
                    height = y1 - y2;
                       width = x1 - x2;}
               else if (x1 > x2 && y1 < y2){//3
                        startX = x2;
                    startY = y1;
                    height = y2 - y1;
                       width = x1 - x2;
               else if (x1 < x2 && y1 > y2){//4
                        startX = x1;
                    startY = y2;
                    height = y1 - y2;
                       width = x2 - x1;}
               } repaint();
}I.e. User can draw a rectangle; clicking inside it causes string MOVE to appear at point 100,100. If you want to redraw rectangle at point where mouse has been clicked, try to think about it a bit and post your code if it wont work. Do not ask to write it for you.

You could try database diff tool in sql developer(but there are some licence restrictions).
I don't know your database version, you could try DBMS_COMPARISON package also.
Look at this link http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28419/d_comparison.htm
Other solution is to create db link between test and production database, and then you can try different types of queries like
select table_name from user_tables
minus
select table_name from user_tables@db_link_to_other_database
And you can do this for columns, indexes and so on.
But you must have proper DDL scripts for this, to generate sync script.
Also there is a question about work process, you are doing sync in reverse order(from production to test). Test db is for test, after test you go to production db with proper ddl and dml scripts, so these schemas shouldn't be different in the first place(talking about schema, not data here).

Link a "Smart Object" with his Mask - possible?

Hello -
Is there a way to link a smart object and his mask?
It's really annoying, because, when I move my smart object, his mask doesn't follow!
Thank you, have a nice end of day
- Dimitri

At this time, Smart Objects can't have masks linked to them. So place your smart object in a group by itself, then create a mask for the group.

How to Specify/Associate a layout with a content

I have created a new site, I have created few contents and few templates. During creation of content/page i did not find any option to associate a template or layout with the content/page. When i am trying to preview the content or try to open in web mode, I gets the following error.
"A content layout must be specified to render this asset in web mode. Please specify a default layout."
Need help me in resolving this issue.

@Rodney: Thanks for the pointer. I did not choose that option. Problem solved after using that option.

How Select All Text Objects with Specific Contents and Move to Top-Center?

Mavens,
In a ~230 page InDesign CC Book (9 INDD files), on about ~35 pages, there is a small text block with the word "NOTES."
Currently, the NOTES text block is in the Middle-Center of the page. I would like to find a way for InDesign to move all ~35 instances of the NOTES text block to the Top-Center (of the page each text block is on).
Is there an easy way to do this with Edit --> Find/Change?
Thanks!

Probably not.
That text block really belongs on a master page applied to those 35 pages, and if it is, all you have to do is move it on the master page. If it isn't, you've got some work to do. Probably easiest to fix one, then coy it and use Paste in Place on the other pages, and delete the frame that's in the wrong place.

How to create the Frame object with API in 6i?

do i create an item using d2fitmcr_Create, and then set the type or style to frame? or is it a graphics item that i have to create using a different function? ive tried various combinations with no luck.
ive looked at the frame object in the GUI, and cant figure out how to duplicate it using the API (the frame object is the thin line box with a label used to groups items visually on a form)
thanks!
[email protected]

Frame is a type of graphic d2fgracr_Create() (d2fgra.h) then set the type as required using d2fgras_graphics_typ():
Definition of Graphics types is in d2fdef.h
** Graphics Type (D2FP_GRAPHICS_TYP)
** [BPT]
#define D2FC_GRTY_ARC              0                                 /* Arc */
#define D2FC_GRTY_IMAGE            1                               /* Image */
#define D2FC_GRTY_LINE             2                                /* Line */
#define D2FC_GRTY_POLY             3                             /* Polygon */

#define D2FC_GRTY_RREC             5                   /* Rounded Rectangle */
#define D2FC_GRTY_TEXT             6                                /* Text */
#define D2FC_GRTY_GROUP            7                               /* Group */
#define D2FC_GRTY_FRAME            8                               /* Frame */All the various properties for setting up the associated block etc (if required) can be set through macros in d2fgra.h

How do I create an object with code?

I have a flash cs3 file in which I have created a simple movieclip (square) by drawing a rectangle on the stage of that movieclip. When I drag that into another movieclip (clip) I am able to set properties for it such as x and y position by adding actionscript code to various frames of the "clip" timeline. So far so good.
Now I have created a second movieclip (shape). I want to be able to define the shape purely with code, so I entered the following code into the first frame of the "shape" timeline:
var myShape:Shape = new Shape();
myShape.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);
myShape.graphics.moveTo(20,20);
myShape.graphics.lineTo(100,20);
myShape.graphics.lineTo(100,100);
myShape.graphics.lineTo(20,20);
myShape.graphics.endFill();
this.addChild(myShape);
I then hoped I could drag and instance of the "shape" movieclip onto the "clip" stage and have a red triangle show up, but nothing shows up. It seems I have to actually draw something onto the "shape" stage for something to show up. I would like to be able to create shapes programmatically but I don;t know how to do it.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I tried doing what you said, creating a command by opening a new flash file, etc. For some reason, I could make a rectangle and save that as a command, but making a shape using the polystar command didn't work - there was a red "x" next to it in the history panel.
