Hi,
Thanks, I just needed verification, I have been searching for info and the 0 relative Array came form looking at some JavaScript and forgetting they were different in AS.
I think I’ve sorted it out now, but if anyone knows a better solution I’d be grateful if you’d share!
I have a PSD that is 40,40 Pixels
I then have 4 Fill Rects at, X,Y with a Width, Height of 20,20
Rect1: X,Y: 0,0
Rect2: X,Y 20,0
Rect3: X,Y 0,20
Rect4: X,Y 20,20
Now when I read bounds in my Script I get everything offset by -1 or sometimes -2. From experimenting with other PSD this negative offset various.
Why is this?
I’ve fixed it by calculating the difference in X,Y and then adding/subtracting from each layers X,Y.
Basically I want the coordinate Starting at 0,0, how come PS is giving me negative numbers?
Bye the way, this same format as the pre Mac OS X, Mac Toolbox and Carbon, I need the values in Cocoa style, e.g.
X,Y W,H
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.
All the Best
Dave
