JS CS5.5-Moving Selected Objects-Please Help!!

Hello,
I have a scritpt that will apply a certain object style to the selected items in the document. I am trying to add a "move" to this scirpt. I would like every item selected in the document to move down .125 inches. I know this is much simpler than I think it is, I've always had trouble with bounds in scripts. If anyone could please help me with this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for your time,
Danny

I suppose if I was going to be picky, I should have provided my code initially, rather than waiting for csm_phil and then posting something else. Anyhow, I think it is better to use:
var
    i,
  savedUnits = app.scriptPreferences.measurementUnit;
try {
  app.scriptPreferences.measurementUnit =
      MeasurementUnits.INCHES;
  for (i = 0; i < app.selection.length; i++){
      app.selection[i].move(undefined, [0, +.125]);
} finally {
  app.scriptPreference.measurementUnit = savedUnits;
This changes the scriptPreferences, not the viewPreferences, which means that even if you screw up and don't set it back, it does not affect the user. It also means it is one variable to change and not two. We take care to save the units and set them back, so other scripts and users are not affected.  We even use a try/finally block so that if an error condition is thrown by the move, we reset the measurement unit afterwards anyhow.
Lastly, unlike csm_phil, I don't cancel the selection at the end. I didn't see Danny asking for that and I don't think it's what you would want.

  • Moving selected objects up and down with keyboard is automaticly applying a colour fill.

    Hi,
    My InDesign is strangely applying a colour fill when i move an objects up or down using the directional arrow in my keyboard. If the colour pallet is open. Nudging an object up makes the pallet disappear on the first press. It then reappears on the second press while filling the object (text frame) with black. This is instensly frustrating. How can I stop this? Suggestions would be very appreciated.
    I have already reset the preferences.
    Cheers,

    Thanks for your reply.
    I fixed the problem by replacing the keyboard!

    I have to ask if you reset the prefs uing one of the methods in this thread: Replace Your Preferences If not, there's a good chance you left out one of the files, so please try again using one of the listed methods. And please tell us the OS and your version of ID, including the patch level. Obviously this is not normal behavior. It sounds as if the Swatches panel has focus when you are pressing the arrow keys.

    I'd recommend staring over, Pondini has created an excellent guide on how to use Setup Assistant. I'd recommend begin reading Pondini Setup Assistant tips where he talks about "Second Chance." Assuming your Time Machine backup is sound the restore  should be very smooth.

  • How to Populate a listbox based on another listbox selection. Please help!

    Hi Experts,
         I have a requirement where I have two listboxs(dropdown list) in a selection screen. I have to populate the second listbox based on the selected item from the first listbox. How to do this?
    I have created a listbox in a selection screen using
    Parameters: p_soldto as listbox visible length 30 user-command chg,
                p_shipto as listbox visible length 30.
    Then I have tried to look at the value of item selected  from first listbox in AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT, But I am not getting any value of p_soldto.
    I think I am doing something wrong. I think I have to use some event handling like on selection of an item from listbox. But I don't see any such event handing in ABAP.
    Please give me some code example.

  • Array of CreditCard objects - PLEASE HELP!

    My situation is this: I need to create an array of CreditCard objects. The problem is that when I try to invoke the methods getName, getNumber, or getLimit, the compiler recognizes the array (cardholders) as a variable.
    My coding is this.
    for(int i=0;fileInput.hasNext();i++)
         CreditCard[] cardholders = new CreditCard[records];
         int cardNum = Integer.parseInt(fileInput.next());
         String cardName = fileInput.nextLine();
         double cardLimit = Double.parseDouble(fileInput.nextLine());
         cardholders[i] = new CreditCard(cardNum, cardName, cardLimit);
    But when I try to access a CreditCard object, through cardholders[4] (for example), the error cannot find symbol appears. PLEASE HELP ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY.

    Please help me ! Thank you!

    Hi CRay,
    You just need to call the main methods of the 2 classes according to "1" or "2" entered.
    It is better if the "multiplication" and "addition" are declared as methods rather than in main methods.
    Example:-
    public static void Addition()
    Then call
    Addition.addition();
    than
    Addition.main(new String[]{});
    as shown below.
    import javax.swing.JOptionPane; // import the class
    public class Test{
        public static void main(String[] args){
            // read which  operation to perform
            String operation = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter which operation : ");
            if(operation.equals("1")){
                Addition.main(new String[]{});
            else{
                Multiplication5.main(new String[]{});
    }Rose

  • How to properly create path art object, please help

    Hello there,
    I have a vector of AIRealPoint , each point is actual X, Y coordinate of the stroke. I need to create path art object out of this vector.
    I'm  somehow confused how to correctly construct segments array form the given AIRealPoints, my goal is to have single path object where count of segments is equal to count of AIrealPoints first and last points are anchors. SDK documenation is not really helping here...
    Please, take a look at the code snippet, it seems I'm doing something wrong with in and out params of segment , in any case I fail to create simple path object ....

    As for beziers, Illustrator uses cubic beziers which are fairly straight forward (thank goodness!). Here's a lift from Wikipedia's Bezier entry:
    This image is pretty good at demonstrating how AI's bezier segments work. In the animation, the moving point has two lines sticking off it, ending with two points. If P3 was an AISegment, the left-hand blue point would be in and the right-hand point would be out. If we were to translate the state of the animation in its last frame into AI code, you'd basically have something like this:
    AISegment segment1, segment2;
    segment1.p = p0;
    segment1.in = p0;
    segment1.out = p1;
    segment2.in = p2;
    segment2.p = p3;
    segment.out = p3;
    Note that this would imply any line that continues beyond either end point isn't a smooth beizer curve (i.e. the curve is limited to between these points). That effectively makes them corner points (I think). Also, the line formed by linking in & p or out & p is the tangent to the curve at p, which I think you can make out from from the animation.
    Another way to get a feel for this is to use the pen tool to draw a line with a few segments. If you then pick the sub-select tool (white selection arrow, not black selection arrow) and select individual points on the curve, you'll see when you do that two 'anchors' jut out from each point. Those are the in & out for that point on the curve.
    Its all a little confusing because technically, a bezier segment between p & q would be p, p.out, q.in & q. (four vertices). To avoid repeating information, and keep it simple for non-beziers, AI's segments are still the vertices. So if you wanted to make the nth segment a beizer, you'd need n & n+1 from AI's path, and you'd modify two-thirds of each AISegment (p, out from n & in, p from n+1).
    I hope that helps, but if you have any further questions, feel free to ask! If you need to do anything fancy with beziers, there are some helpful utilites in AIRealBezier.h.

  • Moving folders.  Please help me with my script!

    Pretty much I'm making a script that facilitates moving files into other files that are in other files and so on.  First of all, I ask how many folders are within that folder. Example: Folder 1:Folder 2: Folder 3: Final Destination of Folder that wants to be moved.  Then depending on the amount of folders that are within eachother, I will ask them the name of each folder so I know the file path to the destination of the folder that wants to be moved.  I will then move the chosen folder to its destination.  This is my script so far:
    set theAmount to the text returned of (display dialog "Is there a folder within that folder, if so how many folders are there?" default answer "")
    if theAmount is 1 then set theName1 to the text returned of (display dialog "What is the name of the folder you want to move?" default answer "")
    if theAmount is 1 then set theDestination1 to the text returned of (display dialog "What is the name of the folder you want to move it to?" default answer "")
    if theAmount is 1 then tell application "Finder"
      move folder theName1 to folder theDestination1
    end tell
    if theAmount is 2 then set theName1 to the text returned of (display dialog "What is the name of the folder you want to move?" default answer "")
    if theAmount is 2 then set theDestination1 to the text returned of (display dialog "What is the name of the folder that contains the folder that you want to move to?" default answer "")
    if theAmount is 2 then set theDestination2 to the text returned of (display dialog "What is the name of the folder that is the final destination?" default answer "")
    if theAmount is 2 then tell application "Finder"
      move folder theName1 to (folder theDestination1) + ":" + theDestination2
    end tell
    Problem 1: It asks me the first question then nothing happens.
    Problem 2: I would like to make it so that I don't have to keep repeating "if theAmount is X then ask him the name of the folder it's in X amount of times."
    I appreciate any help, thanks!

    Without seeing your original source setup, it's hard to know quite how to set this up, but...
    Why are you asking the user these questions at all? Let me explain...
    Given a designated folder:
    set theFolder to (choose folder)
    You can find out yourself how many folders there are within it:
    tell application "Finder"
              set theAmount to count folders of folder theFolder
    end tell
    So, for one, you don't need to ask the user how many folders there are - you already know (although you can still ask if you want).
    More importantly, though, you don't have to rely on the user knowing the folder names (and typing them correctly). Give the user the ability to choose from a list:
    tell application "Finder"
              set folder_list to name of folders of folder theFolder
              set theAmount to count folder_list
              set theName to choose from list folder_list with prompt "Which folder do you want to move?"
              set theDestination to choose from list folder_list with prompt "Where do you want to move it?"
    end tell
    Finally your move statement isn't going to work.
      move folder theName1 to folder theDestination1
    In your original code, the user is likely (I assume) to enter the folder names (e.g. "Foo" and "Bar") which will translate into:
      move folder "Foo" to folder "Bar"
    The Finder is going to choke on this - it can't find folder "Foo" (or "Bar") since there isn't enough data there - these strings are not paths, they're just names of folders - and if you're expecting the user to type full paths each time... well, good luck
    The Finder is going to want proper paths to the folders in order to make the moves. You can do this by appending the folder names to the original folder object, e.g.:
      move (folder theName of theFolder) to (folder theDestination of theFolder)
    Although now you're moving a folder out of the source directory, and there's nothing to stop the user from re-selecting the same folder name next time around. You can get around that with a loop but, again, not knowing your ultimate goal here, it's not easy to be precise.

  • How do I organise iTunes purchases/content after moving abroad? Please help...

    Please can someone advise in simple terms, I am so confused!
    I have recently moved with my young family from the UK to the USA. We are hoping this will be a permanent move, but this is yet to be confirmed. We will be visiting the uk hopefully every year and no doubt take the phones and iPads with us. Between us we have:
    Ipad 2
    Ipad minis x 2
    Apple TV
    iPhone 4s
    iPhone 5c
    All my iTunes content is stored on my hp laptop, including many CDs and DVDs that I converted to an apple format. Purchases in the uk include 10 albums, 10 movies, 1 tv show, 27 books, a gazillion apps (most of those free, apart from I know I purchased minecraft and the kids have spent hours creating worlds on there!). Most of all this is for the children. I don't tend to store any content on the devices themselves unless we are planning a long trip. We tend to rely on wifi and home sharing to access all content from my laptop.
    I've just started to look at changing the iTunes Store location/credit card from the UK to the USA. I went to an apple shop to help me do this to make sure I was going about it the right way, I even purchased frozen movie from iTunes Store whilst I was in the apple store, to check it worked. It did, but on the device I updated - ipad 2 - I can no longer see the movies or music that were there before. I've refrained from changing any other devices as yet. The apps all seem to be there however. (I understand that some of these apps may not get updates if I don't change to the USA iTunes Store, since they were obtained in the uk).
    I basically need to understand what options I have in terms of easily being able to access all content (whether converted or downloaded content) ideally via homesharing, as the kids are used to that.
    1) in settings do I keep the uk iTunes Store and uk credit card linked to it, and continue to make purchases from there (is this even possible?) Would purchasing a uk VPN help with this?
    2) in settings do I convert to the USA iTunes Store and USA credit card - on all devices - and if so, how can we access all our content? If this is an option I would greatly appreciate instructions on what to do.
    I think one option would be to just change the country/credit card details in settings each time we wish to access something from the 'other' store - but this isn't really practical with all our devices and 2 young kids who just wouldn't understand why they can't see all their movies in the cloud! I don't have time to permanently be switching details on their devices all day!
    Many thanks in advance for any guidance on this. I really want to get everything working smoothly.

    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    That is sometimes refured of redownloading from iCloud.
    If the media is not current available from iTunes/APp store yo can't rdownload it. In the USA, ringtones and audio books are not redownloadable.

  • Cannot resize CS2 objects, please help!

    Hello,
    I'm new to this forum, hopefully someone here can help me.  I have worked with every other version of Photoshop and have never had this issue.  I just installed (and updated) Photoshop CS2 for Windows.  When I attempt to do a simple resize of an image object, it doesn't work.  The diagonal arrow handler shows up and the bounding box changes as if it will transform, but dragging by the corners do nothing.  I've tried doing it manually, through the toolbar (Transform -> Scale, and Transform -> Free Transform), via CTL+T...nothing.  A couple of times it did allow me to resize but didn't want to let me when I held Shift to keep the ratio intact...but now it won't let me at all.
    The other thing it's doing is when I drag the image object to move it to the corner of the canvas, the image follows my mouse but when I let go to place it pops right back over to where it was, as if there is some hidden anchor.
    As a side note some days I have to open Photoshop several times before I can create a new image or open one, because when I try to nothing happens at all.  So I don't know if the image resizing & moving issues are part of this bugginess or if it's a result of some setting Photoshop employed in CS2.  I have all the Snap to options turned off and have looked all over for a setting that might be causing this, to no avail.

    Thanks, Bart - Yes, I did reset the preferences per FAQ's.  This morning I tried repairing the installation but the problems still existed.  I then completely uninstalled the program and reinstalled it fresh, ran all of the updates again, and tried to play around with the tools I was formerly unable to use.  Everything appears to now be working correctly (although I'm not 100% convinced yet!)  When I installed it the FIRST time, I walked away from my computer while it was installing the Adobe updates, and Windows rebooted on me due to automatic Windows updates.  I'm wondering if that somehow corrupted the installation, as I was having all of the following problems:
    -crop wouldn't work
    -clipboard wouldn't import things to paste most of the time, errors
    -transform and resize didn't work
    -problems creating new files or opening files (no response)
    -lasso would reset in the middle of tracing
    -paintbrush strokes would work and then disappear
    -clone stamp would start working then disappear
    -flatten image didn't work
    There was other random bugginess here and there.
    I will be using the program frequently today and will update this post at the end of the day with whether or not the problems seem to be gone for good after this morning's reinstall.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 Freezing on Eyedropper tool, please help!

    Hello all! I would be so appreciative of any help I can get with this.
    I am working on a some graphics that need to be completed very soon, and suddenly photoshop is freezing on the eyedropper tool. I've tried force quitting, which does not work, and then restarting multipe times, but this has not worked either. Every time I reopen my file (which is an 8.5 x 11, 350 ppi,grayscale image), and try to work with the paint bucket tool, the problem persists. I'm not able to click and change the tool, use any options under file/edit/view/etc, go to another layer, click out of the window/close photoshop. I am still able to zoom in and out with keyboard short cuts, but that is about it.
    I am working with CS5 on a Mac OS X 10.6.8 , 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon procesor.
    Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide to help explain the problem.
    Thank you!

    Have you tried resetting the eyedropper tool? 
    Click on dropdown box of tool in upper left hand corner.  Then click dropdown box arrow in right corner of the window.
    If that does nothing reset the preferences.
    Start photoshop and immdeiately hold down the option + command + shift keys.  (Windows Alt Ctrl Shift).
    You should get a reset window.
    It is a little tricky so if you see the splash screen you are too late.
