Positioning Inline images? [CS3 JS WIN]

Question

I have an inline graphic in a line of text. I want to be able to automatically position it in the vertical center of the line, but i can't find anyway to do this in javascript. Ive tried geometric and visible bounds to no avail. Ive also tried looking for a way to change it in indesign, but it only seems to be possible by dragging it with the mouse. Any ideas?

Answer 1

The good old days, eh, Harbs? Here's a CS2 version. It skips footnotes (because you can't do this kind of thing in footnotes in CS2) and tables.

#target indesign
picture_dir = '/d/'
app.findPreferences = app.changePreferences = null;
myStories = app.activeDocument.stories;
for (i = 0; i < myStories.length; i++)
   picnames = myStories[i].contents.match (/@.+?@/g);
   if (picnames != null)
      for (j = 0; j < picnames.length; j++)
         found = app.activeDocument.search (picnames[j],false,false);
         for (k = found.length-1; k > -1; k--)
            try
               filename = found[k].contents.replace (/@/g, "");
               found[k].insertionPoints[-1].place (File (picture_dir + filename));
               found[k].remove();
            catch(_){}
