illegal character at Scriptographer\Line.js:1

Matt Pleasant — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 14:35:43 +0100

I created a new script as the instructions showed. I then took your message prompt tutorial and copied it Verbatim to a new script in the Myscript section that Scriptographer created.

When I run your code that is installed in the standard Scriptographer folders, it works fine.

However, after I copied and pasted the same exact code into a new script, I get the following error.

illegal character at Scriptographer\Line.js:1

I've only come across this question about 3 times in your help section, but no answer. I'm using CS5 and Windows 7 32bit.

Here's the code:

// First we define the dialog components
var components = {
firstName: { type: 'string', label: 'First Name' },
lastName: { type: 'string', label: 'Last Name' },
email: { type: 'string', label: 'Email Address' }
};

// Now we bring up the dialog
var values = Dialog.prompt('Please Enter Your Contact Details', components);

if (values) {
// Results were returned, so let's say hello to the user:
Dialog.alert('Hello ' + values.firstName + ' ' + values.lastName
+ ', your email address is: ' + values.email);
}

getIntersection Bug?

Neil — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:24:08 +0100

I seem to have a bug with the getIntersections function.
I've attached a reduction of the code.

What should happen is that you click a portion of a path (not a segment), it creates an empty circle centred on the click then creates two small circles where the intersects are with the underlying path.

What occurs is that the code does not function on orthogonal lines - try it with a rectangle and an ellipse (or any non orthogonal path).

My original code was really just to create small breaks (about 1mm) in a path - hardly rocket science :-)))

Assigning colour based on object size

David — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:55:43 +0100

Hi there all. Looking for a script which with calculate the surface area of a shape and then (either allow or provide coordinates) to colour these shapes i.e large shapes lighter, small shapes darker (see attached image).

Does anyone know if there is something available which performs this task, or a script that could be manipulated?

Cheers.

Accessing the Blend & Bloat tools

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:02:14 +0100

Is there a way to programmatically access existing Illustrator tools?

I am particularly interested in applying the Bloat & Blend tools to different shapes that I will create programmatically.

Any clues on how to do that?

Hello,
I am quite new to scriptographer, and Im wondering if it is possible to load data or documents from a remote server from within scriptographer/illustrator. Would open op some really cool possibilities i think.

Thanks

scriptographer.org page not loading

Henry — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:47:30 +0100

Great site, but having some problems here.

The webpage does not want to load for me.
It starts to load, but nothing comes up, just a blank page.
I have to refresh it many times, and then when the page suddenly comes, some elements are still missing and keep loading.
Firefox and IE, both the same problem.

No problem with any other pages.
First time I visited this site about a month ago, had the same thing happening.

Doesn't work on Illustrator CS5 (15.0.2) Windows 7 64bits PC

Daniel S — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 20:12:55 +0100

Hello,

i'm trying to install Scriptographer 2.9.073 for Illustrator CS5 (15.0.2) in my Windows 7 64bits PC and i just can't make it work.

After the first install i was receiving the missing MSVCR100.dll error. I followed the instructions here at this forum, downloaded the DLL and the error stopped happening on illustrator load. Now i can hear a "ding" while illustrator is loading and scriptographer won't appear at the Window menu.

Btw, i installed both JRE 64 bits and 32bits. And i tried to uninstall scriptographer and install older versions.

Does anybody know if theres any bug or anything i can do?

Thank you!
