    The level of scriptability is probably very limited because it's a Flash panel.

     

    That said, what are you trying to do?

    I found a way to overcome this.

    Export the object as a snippet.

    Now you have an XML text file that represent the object.

    Open it in your code and replace the

    <KeyValuePair Key="Type" Value="Panorama"/>

    etc

    with the values that you wish to.

    Now import this snippet and you can actually script the overlay creator.

     

    Regards,

    Eli

    Well, I found a better way:

    Just because all the data of the object is actually KEY/VALUE labels:

    We can simply do it like this:

     

    myObj = app.selection[0]

    myObj.insertLabel("Type","Panorama")

    myObj.insertLabel("AssetList","C:\\myFolder\\")

    myObj.insertLabel("InitialFOV","70")

     

    This is for panorama, we can do it for the rest of the overlay ojects like pan-zoom etc.

    Of course we should get the KEY/s for each object and immitate the code that stands behind the flash overlay creator panel

     

    Regards,

    Eli
