Yes, using the update() method. It's so strange, seems to work when it likes. On testing - works about 60 percent of the time, other times just jumps from 0 to 100 percent. Anyway it's no big deal there are other ways around it. I tried exiting the main process and running the update in a separate f...

Was there any update on this issue for CS6? On win7 works sometimes, then not others (in panel, haven't tested window...). Thanks. Alan.

I wrote a script that addresses this issue:

Thanks, Alan.

This was dealt with on the Adobe forums.

A try and catch statment was a more elegant solution for this problem.
Especially as the error was specific and expected in certain situations.

Check out Gimme proper path on AEScripts.com - it will give you the numerical positions by just selecting them rather than counting. At least then your script is reliable.

app.onError = err; function err(errString) { alert(errString); } app.onError = err; Hi there can anybody give me an example of how to use the code above to test if a statment is giving an error, let the alert happen and if it does, to exit the current script/function? I'm a bit hazy on callback fun...

Ok working now...

$.os.indexOf("Windows") != -1

is working instead.

$.writeln(system.osName);

is giving me.........


<![CDATA[

hmmmm.

alert(system.osName);
is giving me undefined on Win 7 x64 ?


Can't figure it out... I know it's something ultra simple that I have overlooked.
I am getting the build number etc from the other object properties.

Can anybody tell me the obvious?

Yes you can, there is a scrollbar object -javascript_tools_guide.pdf - p71.

If you are running the script from the AFX interface then that means there is a bug in the script and it is not completing it's function, the error line will be hilighted. If you are just double clicking on the file in a browser, the file has been associated with the Javascript toolkit (for coding) ...

Hi there, searched this and Adobe forums re: the above issue. I currently have a listbox where the user can scroll up and down with the arrow keys, it works but is not a very elegant replacement for the dropdown list. My GUI panel's height must remain only 150px and the dropdownlist would contain 20...

Hi there,
Hopefully end Jan/Start of Feb I will be releasing a script (as part of a pack) that organizes the project panel, it tidys everything up. It doesn't get into collecting files etc. but will give a good head start. It will be on AEScripts.com. I will post here when it's ready anyway.

Hi there, before I found this post I was working with some of these problems. This is some code I had generated, I just said I would post it here for reference. var testRegExp = new RegExp ("[0-9]+\.[A-Za-z]{1,3}$"); //will return 0023.tga for example... var testString = app.project.item(i...
