    Hi,
    I need your help. I have several text frames with different labels and I would like to apply them a different object style.
    How can I automatically select all text boxes that have the “Top” label and applied to them an object style?
    I do not want to select them one by one.

    ////This are my Text frame with label
    myFrame1.label = “Top”;
    myFrame2.label = “Bottom”;

    var myObjectStyle1 = “CIS_Slug_Top”;
    var myObjectStyle2 = “CIS_Slug_Bottom”;

    //I would like to applied object style to text frame with specific label. I don’t know how to access
    myFrame1.applyObjectStyle(myObjectStyle1);
    myFrame2.applyObjectStyle(myObjectStyle2);

    Thanks a lot for your help
    Kathy

    This isn’t possible since CS5 (?) anymore. Instead you must loop through all frames and check the label (or name).

    Hi,
    Ok I got it.

    Thanks ;-)

    ////////////////
    #target indesign
    var myDoc = app.documents[0];
    var myFrames = myDoc.textFrames;
    var myObjectStyle = “CIS_Slug_Top”; //Object Style qui doit déja etre par default dans Indesign

    for (var i=0; i< myFrames.length ; i++) {
    if (myFrames[i].label == “Label2”){
    myFrames[i].applyObjectStyle(myDoc.objectStyles.item(myObjectStyle));
    alert (“OK Done”); // you changes here
    }
    }
