Script for CS3 won't work in CS2

Hello all,
I am new to scripting and trying to get a script written for CS3 to work in CS2. The script was given to me a participant in the InDesign forum. At any rate, here is the script:
for (n=0; n<app.selection.length; n++) {
app.selection[n].move([23.44, 100.05]);
I get an error messsage that says
error #19
error string "bad argument move"
Line: 2
Source: "app.selection[n].move([23.44, 100.0});"
Offending text: "100.0"
As i said I am new to scripting and have been perusing the scripting manual but cannot gather what my error was, and I am trying to meet a deadline.
Cheers in advance!

Ok, me again.
I got it working - well, it moves the text boxes I select - but for some reason the Y variable isn't coming out correctly.
For example, if I use the coordinates 32.385, 16.231 in a script, it moves it to the correct spot on the X axis, but the coordinate for the Y will be off. Further, depending on what text box I select to move, it will vary (by 1-5 mm) along the Y axis. Different text boxes go to different areas along the Y axis, but never far from the script coordinate.
So I guess there does need to be some alteration made? I'll post this in the script forum too, not really sure where it belongs with this particular problem.
Bleah.

  • Need Booklet script for CS3

    My computer bombed -- have CS3 installed on another, now I need the booklet script for CS3. A google didn't bring it up for me. . .
    Thanks
    Lamar

    Both scripts have always worked flawlessly for me. BuildBooklet merely shuffles the pages, so it doesn't change the page size at all (you need to check the spreads box when you export or print), but it does not handle objects that cross the spine. Neither one handles the second script does cross-spine objects, but does not do bleed.

  • CS3 won't boot until CS2 is loaded

    First, excuse me for my approximative english (I'm french... nobody is perfect !)
    On a friend's computer where CS3 was working fine, after trying to open a file, indesign won't work anymore ...
    The indesign process is running but not the soft.
    I've tryed to open a cs3 file with cs2 (got some errors... no surprise !) but CS3 would come up after ...
    What could block CS3 and why it comes up after bringing up and shutting CS2 ???
    How strange

    No, even if I close the process and re-run indesign CS3 the soft won't load ... the process uses 100% of the computer's capacity (even after 5 minutes) ...
    CS2 is working fine so I've tried to open a CS3 project with it ( testing everything ... expected errors ). After closing CS2 I've tried to re-run CS3 and it worked !
    The only way for my friend to use CS3 is to open his project with CS2, close, and run CS3...The 2 softs were working fine before opening a file ( don't know anything about this file )

  • Setting Keyboard Shortcuts for Services won't work

    I've tried to set Keyboard Shortcuts for Services like "New Terminal Tab from Folder" but it won't work. I even tried it on my friend's machine to no avail.
    Here's where I'm setting it up. And yes, I've turned on the checkbox & set the shortcut I want. I've even tried a few different keyboard shortcuts that are complicated to ensure that it's not competing with something else.
    To note, I'm using TotalFinder but my friend, whose machine I tested this on, doesn't.
    We are both running 10.8.2 on the latest MacBook Pro with Retina Display, 15".

    I have a similar scenario......except my services that I created run one time, and then won't run again. 
    For example, I created a service to open a new blank email message for me to type in.  I assigned Cntl-Opt-Comm-M to this service.  I hit the key sequence and it works the first time.....the mail window pops open. 
    If I then close the mail window that it spawned and do it again, no mail window opens.
    I also did this to create a blank Calendar event and also another one for Reminders. 
    They all run one time and then not again.
    Any ideas?

  • Video in CS3 won't work

    Hi,
    I have placed a small video ( which I know is ok as I put it
    into other versions) in CS3 , but when I upload the page it's not
    there!
    Can anyone please help.

    Bad recommendation. You will now have the "Click to activate"
    prompt in IE.
    It would be much better to just upload the Scripts folder....

  • My adobe illustrator CS3 won't work with OS X Yosemite

    after installing OS X Yosemite software upgrade my Adobe Illustrator CS3 will not open with the ability to use the tools, only as a Read only file. I was told to install JavaForOSX2014-001 but that has not helped.

    Yes I am having the same exact issue.  CS6 works fine except for InDesign.  I have used the Java Legacy Updater with no help to the scenario.  Just bounces up/down and then gives me this nice little error message, which I get repeatedly:

  • CS3 Won't Work

    I have installed -successfully - CS3 on my HP m9500y.  During installation the disk checks system (ok) and Installation (ok).
    I am not asked to register during the process.  I try to open the program from the program menu in my start button.  It seems to open with a quick flash of something colorful, then goes to a dark grey screen, with the menu bar at the top, and a neverending hour glass.  I wait, and nothing changes.  I try to click the Fine menu, and the screen changes to a lighter grey and at the top where the program name is located it says Adobe Photoshop CS3 not responding.  I have uninstalled and tried to reinstall several times.  At one point someone mailed me a photo, it had the Ahotoshop Icon, and when I tried open it, the registration came up.  So I registered, thinking hurrah it is going to work, but to no avail.  I am frustrated with this waste of money, that my organization can not afford, and would not consider upgrading to another version, as it looks like people are having problems with the newer programs as well.  Please help.

    Mike thanks for the info,
    Do you really think it is the license though?
    I don't get a message telling me that there is a problem with my license or
    not licensed,
    It just freezes up with that never-ending hourglass.

  • My licence key for CS6 won't work with Acrobat X Pro

    I have an education licence for CS6 and was having trouble with Adobe Acrobat. It just wouldn't open, no matter what I tried. So I decided to uninstall and reinstall it.
    After uninstalling and downloading Acrobat XI Pro, I was told my licence wouldn't work for XI, so I download Acrobat X Pro, which is listed as being part of CS6. However when I got to the installation and was asked for my serial number, it said the number I entered wasn't valid. I tried entering it in both with and without hyphens and got the same issue.

    You can also download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • Wait for Event won't work

    Hi Guru,
    I delegated an object zus2000140 and created a template.  everything was working until I added a "wait for event" as the first step, because I have to make the workflow to wait until "Assignment" created for the service item record.  What I did were:
    (1) In object zus2000140, added an event "Assignment"
    (2) Created a step as wait for event with
                           Container Element      ZUS2000140
                           BOR                            ZUS2000140
                           Event                          ASSIGNMENT
    (3) Binding: ZUS2000140 <-- EVTOBJECT
                       WFINITIATOR <-- EVTCREATOR
    (4) Created a program by calling 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'  exp  objtype objkey and event (as "ASSIGNMENT")
          and tables event_container.
    After this program run, I noticed the table event_container is empty.
    Now the step wait for event is forever waiting.  Can somebody point out what might be wrong?   Thanks.

    Thanks for replying.  Here is the code
    CONSTANTS: c_objtype type SWO_OBJTYP VALUE 'ZBUS2000140',
                 c_event   type SWO_EVENT VALUE 'ASSIGNMENTSTART'.
      CLEAR: objkey, wcont.
      REFRESH: wcont.
           objkey        = '4BB404B1E25002D0E10080000AD414AD'.
          CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
               EXPORTING
                    objtype           = c_objtype
                    objkey            = objkey
                    event             = c_event

  • I'm trying to share a script, but it won't work

    I have Story Plus and paying a monthly fee to have this.  Aren't I supposed to be able to share a script with someone?  When I send a share to someone, they get a message that says that I have exceeded my sharing limit.  I haven't shared with anyone so I don't understand.

    Hi Josh,
    Story allows for project level sharing. But once the project is shared, all the scripts within the project are shared with the user.
    You can share the project with your partner either as co-author or writer depending on the control you want.
    The writer  has limited permissions and cannot perform the following actions:
    See drafts of episodes authored by other writers
    Create or view reports and schedules
    See the lists assigned to the current project
    Share, archive, or rename a project shared with them
    See edit notifications for documents created by other users. In particular, users in this role will see the following notifications:

  • Nano formated for windows won't work on my mac

    I just bought the 2 gig new nano but it is formated for windows and I use a mac. Itunes does not recoignize it and neither does my finder. I tried to reset the nano but it won't even do that. Granted, the nano isn't fully charged, but it reads more than half charged, so i'm assuming it would be ready to sync with itunes 7.0.
    Anyone else have the same problem or at least know a solution?
    Thanks in advance, Haskell
    ibook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Sorry abou that. I found out by reading more of the posts that the correct way to reset the new nano ipod is by pressing both the menu AND enter (center) key at the same time. When I read the apple faq's, it said to press the menu button only.... now everything sync properly. Thanks again.

  • Copy and Paste for Images won't work on windows 8

    Copy and paste function on my windows 8 laptop is not working. For texts and links it would work when I copy it from a website to word but when I try to copy an image to word it wouldn't paste it.

    Hi,
    Meanwhile, I suggest you check whether you have any third party anti-virus programs installed in your system, some of those software might prevent such copy\paste function, if you have, please temporarily turn off or uninstall them as a test.
    Or as
    raghuramu mentioned, it is a software restriction in some websites.
    By the way, are you able to copy and paste between other application, such as word to word, not IE?

  • Zoom tool short cuts won't work in CS2

    When I use the keyboard short cuts to to zoom (ctrl ++ and ctrl -) they don't work. Any ideas why?
    Thank you
    Brad

    Are you saying they don't work at all (do nothing) or that their actions are not what you expected? If the latter, that's not unexpected because there are just too many counteracting options provided for this feature and they are not commonly understood
    You should get a zoom in/out with or without resizing the window, depending on (1)The status of the general preferences box "Zoom Resizes Window", (2)Whether the zoom tool itself or another tool is highlighted, (3)If the zoom tool, the status of the "Resize Window to Fit" box on the options bar, and (4)Whether you use CTRL alone or together with ALT, or together with ALT and the space bar.
    The General Preferences setting involving the zoom tool is overridden by the zoom tool option bar setting when the zoom tool is activated, including when it is temporarily activated by holding the space bar down along with CTRL and ALT. In these cases you must also left click for each desired zoom step, and releasing the keys deactivates the zoom tool.
    Unless the zoom tool is highlighted, the zoom tool options are not accessible (nor even visible), but their most recent settings apply for those shortcuts which use the spacebar.
