Hi,
I'm trying to place images and create text into a specified boxes within a Quark document.
The images work fine and the text will create but only if I select the text box in the Quark document and specify it in the script as the current box - when I try to do this automatically by using a UniqueID I get the following error . . .
QuarkXPress got an error: Can't get text box id 4930.
The code is as follows . . .
set theMessage to ""
set theFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Select Image Folder") as string
set theList to list folder theFolder without invisibles
tell application "QuarkXPress Passport"
tell document 1
repeat with eachFile in theList
set theName to text 1 thru 2 of eachFile & "_Image"
try --will error if image is not compatible
tell picture box theName
set image 1 to (theFolder & eachFile) as alias
set bounds of image 1 to exact fit
end tell --picture box
on error
set theMessage to theMessage & eachFile & return
end try
end repeat
end tell
end tell
if theMessage is not "" then
display dialog theMessage
end if
tell application "QuarkXPress Passport"
--if content of text box id 4930 is text content then
tell text box id 4930 to make new text at beginning with properties {contents:"£179"}
end tell
--end if
