script UI onClick listener not reading selection correctly

Jul 1, 2012 9:05 PM

for some reason when I call the event listener on a button it doesn't want to store the selection  (might be losing selection onBlur? not sure)

 

there are several lines that really confuse me, because of scope, they should have access to the selection since it is defined outside the function. Here is a gist of the code since I cant stand forums syntax highlighting :X

line 43-50 are where I am the most confused. any ideas?

    Because you use a "palette" type window, which can not directly communicate with Illustrator.

    You should use "dialog", or have a look at this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4402253#4402253

    doesn't that defeat the purpose of palette....? I'm confused. rather not use dialog becaues it's persistant. how would I go about adding a panel to illustrator? I know there is configurator in Photoshop, do I have to get into C to program a pallette or can I use Flex or something similar...?

     

    I'm very familiar with dialog, its the persistance that I am after.
