I know that there has been some discussion here and in Adobe's forum, but I continue to have a problem addressing a layout window in a script run through an AfterOpen event listener.
I am addressing document 1 rather than active document, and I am setting up wait loops to delay the script. I still get errors that layout window 1 (or window 1) of document 1 can't be accessed.
The same script runs fine on a pre-opened document.
This script errors in the tell layout window 1 statement, even if I set the count increment to numbers high enough to cause long delays (like 100000000):
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
tell document 1
set vCount to 0
repeat while vCount < 10000
set vCount to (vCount + 1)
end repeat
set show rulers of view preferences to true --This works.
--if not (exists layout window 1) then make new window
tell layout window 1
set overprint preview to true
end tell
end tell
end tell
If I uncomment the line "if not (exists layout window 1) then make new window", then it sometimes works correctly, but makes InDesign unstable, and If I run a script where I open documents invisibly, it crashes.
