  CS4 script not working in CS5

  Posted by Dennis Cheung on May 11, 2011 at 3:39 pm

  Hi all

  I have a script for using marker comments on a text layer to update the source text. It’s a way to make things easier for the next person to work on this project. It works fine in CS4, but CS5 ignores the second marker and beyond.

  Can anyone help?

  Thanks!

  n = 0;
if (marker.numKeys > 0){
n = marker.nearestKey(time).index;
if (marker.key(n).time > time) n--;
}
m = thisLayer.marker.nearestKey(n);
m.comment

  That got messed up somewhere along the line. It shouldn’t work in CS4 either. Try this:

  
n = 0;
if (marker.numKeys > 0){
n = marker.nearestKey(time).index;
if (marker.key(n).time > time) n--;
}
if (n > 0)
marker.key(n).comment
else
value
