      Hello Scripters!

      I’m not coding inclined (designer) but can understand stuff with a visual reference. Can anyone let me know what the structure for objects within InDesign is? (in terms of OOP via visual reference)

      Is there a reference for all of the common attributes for each object that can be used in a proceedural workflow?

      Something like this – https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/maya-lt/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2015/ENU/MayaLT/files/Keyframe-Animation-Set-Driven-Keys-htm.html

      Cheers,
      Sam

      Adobe has produced a few helpful documents with charts showing some of the object model. Search for:

      InDesignCS6_ScriptingGuide_JS.pdf

      and

      InDesign_ScriptingTutorial.pdf

      Hi David and Ariel, thanks for the replies, much appreciated rather than tumble weeds!

      I found this for those of us more fluent in AS that might be of use to anyone reading this thread. https://helpx.adobe.com/animate/using/as-to-html5.html

      However, I’m a bit lost as there’s no equivalence to load mc (load movie clip) target xxxxx.mc? Is this a limitation of the technology?

      Cheers,
      Samuel.

      Wow, InDesign is not Flash. InDesign is not AS3 scriptable (well it was on some specific context but it’s a digression). Once that said, the InDesign Object model is specific. MocieClips objects as AS3 objects cannot be used as it is in InDesign as thos objects cannot be found in the InDesign page items collection.

      You need to understand InDesign peculiarities and the links towards the docs that you have been given are a good way to start learning.
