[JS][CS5] Storing a variable in the document label

Roy Marshall Aug 28, 2010 3:34 AM

HI.

I need to store the ID number of an item into the document label.

I have tried:

myLabelString = new String(myDoc.allPageItems[n].id)

myDoc.label=myLabelString;

But got the error

Result: Error: Invalid value for set property 'label'. Expected String, but received function data.

I can add the ID number by:

myDoc.label="713";

but I need this to be a variable.

I have seen some posts using the function 'insertLabel' passing value and key. What is the 'Key' in this?

Any ideas?

Cheers

Roy

Hey Roy!

Take a look here: http://bit.ly/bxITfo
It's article about Insert and Extract Label from document.

Thanks heaps.

I have to pass the id number as a string though:

app.activeDocument.insertLabel('BackgroundID', (myDoc.allPageItems[n].id).toString());

but thats OK

Thanks again!

Roy
