Hi All
I am new to this list and pretty new to AS, although i've always wanted to use it (since early Quark Xpress days), just never had big enough incentive. So apologies in advance if this post is off-target/annoying.
I'm looking to write several scripts to produce content in Keynote 5.0.1. I am not interested in controlling the playback with AS, which seems to be where it's dictionary is aimed. In short want to automate content changes by iterating thru a slides items/objects and changing properties. For eg. the get the 'hyper-link to slide number' property from a rectangle object and increment it's value. Or, select all objects with opacity=0% and set to 100%.
It's just that Keynote has rather limited production tools so repetitive tasks are just that. No layers, graphics styles or anything like DTP software. So these scripts would save me hours.
SO QUESTION is can page items on a slide be selected/read/write/created. Which properties are avaliable, I can't see anything about hyperlinks in the dictionary for eg but I'm new to AS and there may be other no app specific was to get to some properties like page position, opacity etc.
Thanks for your patience if you read thru my post and for any help gratefully received.
