Quark vs InDesign - satisfying a test


  • Subject: Quark vs InDesign - satisfying a test
  • From: Luca BASSINI <email@hidden>

Scenario:
A QuarkXPress (InDesign) document with two linked text boxes (text frames). Story 1 (parent story) has been previously named "TheNameOfTheStory".

In QuarkXPress if I would like to get the object reference of every text box containing the named story I use a script like this:

tell application "QuarkXPress Passport 4.11"
get object reference of every text box of document 1 whose name of story 1 is "TheNameOfTheStory"
end tell
--> {
generic box 1 of spread 1 of document "Documento1",
generic box 2 of spread 1 of document "Documento1"
}

The result is a list...

I'm trying to obtain the same result on InDesign, without success.
My script is this:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
set storyObjRef to object reference of every text frame whose label of parent story is "TheNameOfTheStory"
end tell

There is no result. Where am I wrong?

Any help would be appreciated
Regards
Luca
