Yvan,

This also fails with the same compile error: Can’t get 4 of my_list. Access not allowed.

tell me to set item 4 of my_list to 10

Deivy,

In practice, you need a ‘set item’ command to change geometric bounds in InDesign, which are stored as a four number list. E.g.

set item 4 of geometric bounds of myBoxObject to 144

Adobe should not have made ‘item’ a reserved word starting in InDesign 11.4.1.102 because it’s an AppleScript reserved word.

Should! I agree, but you and I versus Adobe, you know who wins.
To fix it, you have to do something like this:

set my_list to {1, 2, 3, 4}
tell application id “com.adobe.indesign"
set my_list to setSomeItemInAList(4,my_list,10)
…
end tell

on setSomeItemInAList(x,lista,valor)
set item x of lista to valor
return lista
end

So set item is out of the indesign tell block.

Thanks,
Dave

Has anyone seen this problem? Basic stuff like, set item x…, stopped working at compile time.

set my_list to {1, 2, 3, 4}
set item 4 of my_list to 5 -- WORKS
tell application id "com.adobe.indesign"
set item 4 of my_list to 10 -- FAILS
end tell

AppleScript Compile Error (on line 4): Can’t get 4 of my_list. Access not allowed.

OS X 10.11.6
InDesign 11.4.1.102
All OSAX deleted and machine rebooted

For reference, the same code works great on a machine with 10.9.5 and InDesign 11.3.0.34

I’d love to downgrade InDesign to a specific point version but I see no way to do that under Adobe’s new subscription model.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave

If you really need to put the instruction in a tell application Adobe block, try:

set my_list to {1, 2, 3, 4}
set item 4 of my_list to 5 -- WORKS
tell application id "com.adobe.indesign"
tell me to set item 4 of my_list to 10 -- FAILS
end tell
