I'm new with scripting and haven't had a lot to do with it, so i'm looking for a little help. I need to add to my companies existing Script Pallet, we have a script that creates our art into dies for us. So that they can be used for Debossing/Hotstamping items. But, we need the "Die" to have the Name of the job on it, so i'm trying to get a box to prompt up to add that text to the top of my die...I have got the box to come up but i can't get it to put the text on the art. Am I missing a link somewhere?
var newDieName = prompt ('Enter Job Number for New Die', " ","Creating Die");
var newDieName = newDieName.name;
var die_num = thisDoc.textFrames.add();
die_num.contents = "DJ" +(newDieName)+ ".01" + "-" + " " +magThick;
die_num.moveToBeginning(rec_group1);
var myParagraph = die_num.paragraphs[0];
myParagraph.characterAttributes.size = 12;
myParagraph.characterAttributes.textFont=app.textFonts.getByName("MyriadPro-Regular");
myParagraph.characterAttributes.fillColor = orange;
// Determines where the die number should be placed.
die_num.top = -170;
die_num.left = -54;
die_num.filled = true;
die_num.rotate(180);
die_num.overprintFill = false;
// End of die number creation
;
Please let me know if you need any other information; i will see want i can do to.
