Here is a snippet of the script that appears to have the error:

--say "window"

tell application "System Events"

tell process "Adobe Illustrator"

--beep

set frontmost to true

my do_submenu("Adobe Illustrator", "Window", "Tools", "Default")

set Sizes1 to size of every window

my do_submenu("Adobe Illustrator", "Window", "Tools", "Default")

set Sizes2 to size of every window

--beep

if length of Sizes1 is greater than length of Sizes2 then

set TheSize to item 1 of my RemoveComonList(Sizes1, Sizes2)

else

set TheSize to item 1 of my RemoveComonList(Sizes2, Sizes1)

end if

--beep

set TOOLS to every window whose size is TheSize

if TOOLS is {} then

my do_submenu("Adobe Illustrator", "Window", "Tools", "Default")

set TOOLS to every window whose size is TheSize

end if

--beep

tell item 1 of TOOLS

set WindowPosition to position

set item 1 of WindowPosition to (item 1 of WindowPosition) + (item 1 of clicker)

set item 2 of WindowPosition to (item 2 of WindowPosition) + (item 2 of clicker)

get WindowPosition

end tell



It is erring on item 1.

I am using Adobe Illustrator v2014.0.0 with the script below to auto update proof slug information. The script was originally written using AI CC 2013. It does get finicky if more than one version of Illustrator is on the machine as well. Once I removed AI CC 2013, the script worked in the newer version.

I have a user that has Adobe Illustrator 2015.3 with the following error when running the script. "Can't get item 1 of {}. Script Editor got an error: Can't get item 1 of {}. (-1728)"

What is the best way to share the script without exceeding the email size limit?




Thank you,
