 Action Manager     74

●

On Mac OS, the log files are on the desktop.

The section demonstrates how to use the contents of the 

ScriptingListenerJS.log

 log to create your 

script. Before you begin this section, you need have already recorded an action. The example in this 
section assumes you have followed the instructions in 

The procedures in this section use the Action Manager to make the Emboss filter available to the scripting 
interface.

➤

1. Do one of the following:

●

Open 

ScriptingListenerJS.log

 on the desktop.

At the end of the file you will see code similar to the following (although your numbers may be 
different):

var id19 = charIDToTypeID( "Embs" );
var desc4 = new ActionDescriptor();
var id20 = charIDToTypeID( "Angl" );
desc4.putInteger( id20, 135 );
var id21 = charIDToTypeID( "Hght" );
desc4.putInteger( id21, 3 );
var id22 = charIDToTypeID( "Amnt" );
desc4.putInteger( id22, 100 );
executeAction( id19, desc4 ,DialogModes.NO);

ScriptListener separates logged commands with horizontal lines composed of equal signs 
(=====...). If this is not the first action recorded in the log, you can easily locate the most recent 
action; it follows the final equal sign line. 

2. Copy the JavaScript code associated with the emboss action from 

ScriptListenerJS.log

 to another 

file, called 

emboss.jsx

.

3. In the 

emboss.jsx

 script, identify the values that you used with the filter (135, 3 and 100). Substitute 

the filter specification values with variable names. 

In the following example, 

135

 has been replaced with 

angle

; 

3

 has been replaced with 

height

; 

100

 has 

been replaced with 

amount

.

var id19 = charIDToTypeID( "Embs" );

var desc4 = new ActionDescriptor();
var id20 = charIDToTypeID( "Angl" );
desc4.putInteger( id20, angle );
var id21 = charIDToTypeID( "Hght" );
desc4.putInteger( id21, height );
var id22 = charIDToTypeID( "Amnt" );
desc7.putInteger( id22, amount );
executeAction( id19, desc4,DialogModes.NO );

4. Wrap the code in a JavaScript function. In the following example, the function name is 

emboss

.

function emboss( angle, height, amount )
{

var id19 = charIDToTypeID( "Embs" );
var desc4 = new ActionDescriptor();
var id20 = charIDToTypeID( "Angl" );
