An error which didnt occur in ind2 is:
set horScale to (horizontal scale of page item 1)
„InDesign CS“ hat einen Fehler erhalten: „horizontal scale of page item 1 of rectangle 2 of last page of active document“ kann nicht gelesen werden.
whats the new word for “horizontal scale” or is there another error?
and by the way: where do all this " «event K2 fitc» given «class givn»:content to frame"-lines come from (i don’t remember them with indesign 2) and what do they mean?
1- the same.
2- no doubt.
3- these are changed terms. Your editor does not recognise the AppleScript command for this apple event. So it shows the command in “source code”.
«event K2PIfitc» equals ‘fit’
«class givn» equals ‘given’
so your line is the “source code” for the command ‘fit mybox given content to frame’
4- Please translate if you want us to help you!
thank you so far.
which OSX-scripteditor can open older scripts without displaying source code?
Or what do the following lines mean in applescript?:
«event K2 dupe»
«event K2 plac»
«class imot»
«class insh»
(Is the sourcecode documented somewhere?)
the error-message is:
„horizontal scale of page item 1 of rectangle 2 of last page of active document“ can not be read.
Any ideas what could be wrong?
Have you tried:
P.S. It is a bit hard to help you if you don’t post a hole code…

hi kari,
thanks, graphic item works, how did you know (are the script-changes from ind2 to cs documented somewhere)?
To clean up/rebuild my code I would like to know what the following lines mean in applescript?:
«event K2 dupe»
«event K2 plac»
«class imot»
«class insh»
Probably something like this:
«event K2 dupe» = duplicate
«event K2 plac» = place
«class imot» = showing options (boolean)
«class insh» = on (reference)
Check this:

P.S. Once again; If you would post your code so far, you would get more response.
Kari
thanks again, it all works, the only remaining source code is:
«event K2 fitc» given «class givn»:center content
whats the normal applescriptcode of “center content”?
here’s the whole script:
