Prompt before running script action?
I have a script which deletes unused character styles.
When they script is run, I want a dialog to pop up and ask the user if they wish to proceed... If yes, the rest of the script will run. If no, the script will stop.
I can't seem to find other instances of this. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
function removeUnusedCharStyle(myChStyle) {
app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.findTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = myChStyle;
var myFoundStyles = myDoc.findText();
if (myFoundStyles == 0) {
myChStyle.remove();
}
app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
}

moving images and text to layers
I've managed to cobble together a script that moves all images and text to layers. I intend to create an if else statement that checks if layers exist, but my question is: is there any way to exclude the master pages from this?
Thanks,
~David
-----
pictureLayer = app.activeDocument.layers.item ("images");
textLayer= app.activeDocument.layers.item ("text layer");
app.activeDocument.rectangles.everyItem().itemLayer = pictureLayer;
app.activeDocument.textFrames.everyItem().itemLayer = textLayer;

Indesign Preferences
Hi,
I have used the below code to set Preview Options of InDesign Preferences (InDesign Preferences -> File Handling -> Saving InDesign Files).
app.generalPreferences.includePreview = true; // Always Save Preview Images with Doc
app.generalPreferences.previewSize = PreviewSizeOptions.medium; // Preview Size
app.generalPreferences.openRecentLength = 10; // Number of Recent Items to Display
app.generalPreferences.previewPages = PreviewPagesOptions.FIRST_2_PAGES; // Prview pages
Its working fine for me in InDesign CS6 but Its throwing error in InDesign CS5. When I searching in CS5 Reference, it does not have the property for "app.generalPreferences.previewPages". But InDesign Preference having this property. I want to run the script in both version(CS5 and CS6). How can I make to run in both version?
Thanks,

Problem Linking HyperLink 3 Images on Same Cell Text Line. Need hero.
Hello Friends,
I need a hero, please. VB.NET, CS6. I am trying to add hyperlinks to 3 images. Here's the code (it's VB.NET but the logic should be easy to understand)
If imageFileName IsNot Nothing Then
Dim rect As ID.Rectangle = curTextItem.Rectangles.Add() : With rect
.Name = imageFileName
.GeometricBounds = geoBounds
.Place(imageFileName)
.ClearObjectStyleOverrides() 'needed to eliminate drop shadow
.StrokeWeight = 0 'needed to eliminate stroke
.Fit(idFitOptions.idProportionally)
.Fit(idFitOptions.idFrameToContent)
.Select()
End With
If imageLink IsNot Nothing Then
Dim myHyperlinkURL = aDoc.HyperlinkURLDestinations.Add(imageLink)
Dim myHyperlinkSource = aDoc.HyperlinkPageItemSources.Add(rect)
Dim myHyperlink = aDoc.Hyperlinks.Add(myHyperlinkSource, myHyperlinkURL)
myHyperlink.Visible = False
End If
End If
FYI: curTextItem is a cell.Text object.
When I add them without the hyperlinks, everything works fine (comment out red lines). However, when I try to add the first hyperlinkSource it errors with:
A first chance exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in InDesign Scripting.exe
Additional information: Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'InDesign.PageItem'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{D7D2C130-D321-11D1-AAA2-00C04FA349C7}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).
I've tried just about every imaginable object reference to replace "rect" (except the "right" one) to make this work. If I choose to use "HyperlinkTextSources" instead of "HyperlinkPageItemSources" I can successfully link the first source by using "aDoc.HyperlinkTextSources.Add(curTextItem.Texts.LastItem) but when it gets to the second source it errors with:
"The object you have chosen is already in use by another hyperlink."
I've been at this for about a day. If I were a smarter guy I might have given up a while ago, but I am stubborn. I know that I am missing something simple. You'll probably hear me smack my head from wherever you are when I get the answer. Please help.
Thank you kindly,

JavaScript script: How to add a DSP Interactive WebView to a page?
Hi forums experts,
I'm working on a project where we want to automate the insertion in a indesign (*.indd) of a DSP WebView using a JavaScript (*.jsx) script.
I did an extensive research of the JavaScript API but i could NOT find any reference of the "DSP", "WebView".
Is this possible?
Is there a hidden API located somewhere?
What is an alternative? IDML?
Any help would be extremely appreciated.

correct my MeasurementUnits by script
My Indesign file preference properties in inches ('myDocument.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits=MeasurementUnits.INCHES;') But I am using point size measurement units for above space adjustment script as like below:
if(arrExtraStyles.length!=0)
{
adjustExtraSpace(4);
}
Here I have mentioned 4 points here. I try to assign default this is in point size value as like below but it doesn't work.
ProcessTracking=[4];
ProcessTracking.pointSize = 4;
ProcessTracking="0p4";
If my indesign files measurement units in inches, my above process 'adjustExtraSpace' value taking in inches, that means 4 inches, but I have mentioned here 4 points only. how to control it?

Resizing column width of multiple selected stories with tables
I've found this wonderful script that fits the width of all tables to the width of their text frames
It's brilliant because we have multiple layers, each layer containing tables in their own language. So the script helps a lot.
There's only one thing I'd like to change:
In this case, the script runs through the entire document. I'd like to change that to only the frame we select (to maximize control and avoid mistakes).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
var myDocument=app.activeDocument;
for (s=0; s<myDocument.stories.length; s++) {
for (t=0; t<myDocument.stories[s].tables.length; t++) {
var myTable = myDocument.stories.item(s).tables.item(t);
var myTableParent = myTable.parent;
var parentWidth = myTableParent.geometricBounds[3] - myTable.parent.geometricBounds[1];
var factor = parentWidth/myTable.width;
for (col=0; col<myTable.columns.length; col++) {
myTable.columns[col].width *= factor;
}
}
