Hi,
I'm currently writing an extension for CC2015 that opens a panel containing some tab layouts and some buttons.
I want the buttons to perform an onClick function that opens a PNG file in Photoshop but I cannot seem to get this to function to work as expected.
The main parts of my index.html for the extension that defines one of the buttons is:
<button class="BUTTON CLASS" id="BUTTON ID" role="BUTTON">BUTTON NAME</button>
I've then added an event listener function for the button (shown below) that works on finding the id name of the button:
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById('BUTTON ID').addEventListener('click', onClickButton, false);
function onClickButton()
{
var imageFile = new File("C:/FOLDER/FILENAME.png");
docRef = app.open(imageFile);
}
</script>
This piece of Javascript above falls over at this part here:
{
var imageFile = new File("FILENAME.png");
docRef = app.open(imageFile);
}
For some reason the image will not open on button click with the above bit of script, however if I run this snippet in isolation by running the following in the ESTK the PNG file opens perfectly fine in Photoshop
#target photoshop
var imageFile = new File("FILENAME.png");
docRef = app.open(imageFile);
I've tested the event listener and the onClick and everything appears to be fine here because if I replace the app.open portion of the script with a simple alert shown below the button returns a new window with the alert text present:
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById('BUTTON ID').addEventListener('click', onClickButton, false);
function onClickButton()
{
alert ("You Pressed Me");
| } |
</script>
If anyone has any pointers as to where I've gone wrong here that would be great as I can't see the wood for the trees right now.
Thanks.
