2. Re: Event trapping when the active document changes
Loic_aigon Aug 11, 2008 8:16 AM (in response to cweger79)No need to shake. If someone is able to help you, he is going to do it.
Generally, no answer means that no one knows or that the one who know has not read your post yet. Or that your post is so common that it has been answered a lot of time and people are expecting from you that you dig a little bit more.
But once again be certain that anyone that could help will.

Good luck -
3. Re: Event trapping when the active document changes
Bob, Adobe Engineer Aug 11, 2008 8:58 AM (in response to cweger79)Well, I'll answer it...
There is no way to do it with ExtendScript and InDesign alone.
You can do it (and I do in one app I've written) with APID from Rorohiko. In fact, I use APID as my primary event engine.
Events I routinely use from APID:
subjectCreated - when a frame or something has been created.
subjectDelete - same, but
subjectModifed - when an object has been modified
subjectModifed-text - when a text object is reflown
docSelected
docDeselected
selected - a page item is selected
deselected - a page item is deselected
