Convert image to button

May 15, 2012 11:40 AM

Hi All,

 

Is it possible to convert an image into button and add behaviour script to it? or Is it possible to create a button with icon and events to it? Please suggest.

 

Thanks,

Vanitha Allwin

    This has been very valuable. This will help you with almost everything you need. Also try ScriptUISprites by Marc Autret.

     

    Also you will need this to make your png.

     

    var f1 = new File( "/Applications/Adobe InDesign CS4/File Name.png" );

    var f2 = new File( "/Users/Desktop/_MAC.txt" );

    //var f ="/Applications/Adobe InDesign CS4/Scripts/Scripts Panel/New UI/GreenButton2.png";

    if ( f1.exists ) {

    f1.encoding = "BINARY";

    f1.open( "r" );

    var buf = f1.read();

    f2.open( "w" );

    f2.write( buf.toSource() );

    f2.close();

    f1.close();

    }

    Hi,

     

    I need a script which should directly place an image into the indesign file and the image should behave like a button. Is it possible? Please help.

     

    Regards,

    I'm sorry my post was about UI. To answer your question. I think yes. Although I have never tried it should just be a matter of formatting the image with qualities that you want. My first question usaully when I am scripting is can I create it in the program. If I can then it is likely that I can script it.
