Hi List,
I am doing this very simple operation in three steps to try and solve this
strange behaviour:
tell application "QuarkXPress"
tell document 1
set theBox to the object reference of the current box
set theIndex to the index of theBox
set name of generic box theIndex to "hello"
end tell
end tell
When I select a single box and run this script, it always names SEVERAL
different, unrelated boxes! WHY? I just want to name a few boxes by
selecting them, and then running one of 10 scripts that names up to 10
boxes, picture boxes really.
I have been struggling with variations on this but have not been successful
getting this to work, but I don't understand why it won't work! I can't rely
on the stacking order and need to target these few "marked" boxes out of a
slew of other boxes.
I hope someone can explain what is happening here.
Thanks,
