Hi All,
I am inexperienced in AS to say the least...
We have been using scripts on OS9 but we are upgrading to OSX. I have an
example of one which no longer works due to (Im guessing) something that
has changed in AS between OS9 and OSX.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
my SetPictureBoxContent (i, "footerlogo", FooterLogo) - FooterLogo is a
path to an image on a server, i is just a count
on SetPictureBoxContent(ThePage, BoxName, LogoPath)
tell application "QuarkXPress"
tell document1
tell page(ThePage as number)
set image 1 of picture box BoxName to
LogoPath
end tell
end tell
end tell
end SetPictureBoxContent
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"set image 1 of picture box BoxName to LogoPath" - this line gives an
Applescript error: "QuarkXPress got an error: Can't make some data into
the expected type", which suggests to me a casting issue.
I had a previous problem with a clipboard not holding a value and it was
just a case of adding "as text" to the end of a line (typecasting it into
the clipboard) so Im hoping this will be just as easy for you experts.
PS. If you need more info then I will supply it.
Any help would be appreciated kindly.
