Uable to access active page / new to scripting (AS)

tell application "adobe indesign cs5.5"          tell active document                                  make graphic line properties {geometric bounds:{watch2, watch3, watch4, watch1}, flip:vertical, applied object style:"crossout"}              end tell end tell 

 

hi,

i need write script draws line before selected text. far, have x1/y1 + x2/y2 coordinates narrowed down (left out in code keep question simple), , works fine now.

 

but:

i need draw line onto selected text, e.g. active textbox. when way (because im not talented @ scripting), line gets created on page 1, should alway land on current textbox.

can me out?

 

while guys on it:

• next question if works out be, how "group" line textbox behind?

• and: textbox contain more items 1 "crossed out", lines should group together. (not if want break textbox 5 lines, have 5 "housed" groups of lines)

 

heres picture need theses lines:

hi,

 

it's whole textframe crossed out¿

 

try this:

 

tell application "adobe indesign cs5.5"          tell active document         set textframe item 1 of selection         set currpage parent page of textframe         set textframebounds geometric bounds of textframe         set theline make graphic line @ currpage properties {applied object style:"crossout"}                  set anchor of path point 1 of path 1 of theline {item 2 of textframebounds, item 3 of textframebounds}         set anchor of path point 2 of path 1 of theline {item 4 of textframebounds, item 1 of textframebounds}                  make group properties {group items:{textframe, theline}}     end tell end tell 

 

i don't understand :

• and: textbox contain more items 1 "crossed out", lines should group together. (not if want break textbox 5 lines, have 5 "housed" groups of lines)
