AnchorPoints AnchorPoint Array of 2 Reals BoundingBoxLimitss BoundingBoxLimits CoordinateSpacess CoordinateSpaces Array of Arrays of 2 Reals LongIntegers |
The location requested. Can accept: Array of 2 Reals, AnchorPoint enumerator or Array of Arrays of 2 Reals, CoordinateSpaces enumerators, AnchorPoint enumerators, BoundingBoxLimits enumerators or Long Integers. |
in |
The coordinate space to use. |
|
consideringRulerUnits |
If true then a ruler location is interpreted using ruler units rather than points. The default value is false. This parameter has no effect unless the reference point is specified relative to a page. (Optional) (default: false) |
undefined select ([existingSelection:SelectionOptions=SelectionOptions])
Selects the object.
Parameter |
Type |
Description |
---|---|---|
existingSelection |
The selection status of the Button in relation to previously selected objects. (Optional) (default: SelectionOptions.REPLACE_WITH) |
undefined sendBackward ()
Sends the Button back one level in its layer.
undefined sendToBack (reference:PageItem)
Sends the Button to the back of its layer or behind a particular item (must have same parent).
Parameter |
Type |
Description |
---|---|---|
reference |
The reference object to send the object behind (Optional) |
Asset store (using:Library, withProperties:Object)
Stores the object in the specified library.
Parameter |
Type |
Description |
---|---|---|
using |
The library in which to store the object. |
|
withProperties |
Initial values for properties of the new Button (Optional) |
String toSource ()
Generates a string which, if executed, will return the Button.
String toSpecifier ()
Retrieves the object specifier.
undefined transform (in:CoordinateSpaces, from:Array of Varies AnchorPoint AnchorPoints 2 Reals BoundingBoxLimitss CoordinateSpacess Arrays of 2 Reals LongIntegers, withMatrix:Array of Varies 6 Reals TransformationMatrix, replacingCurrent:Array of Varies MatrixContent enumerators MatrixContent LongInteger, [consideringRulerUnits:Boolean=Boolean])
Transform the page item.

from |
AnchorPoints AnchorPoint Array of 2 Reals BoundingBoxLimitss BoundingBoxLimits CoordinateSpacess CoordinateSpaces Array of Arrays of 2 Reals LongIntegers |
The temporary origin during the transformation. Can accept: Array of 2 Reals, AnchorPoint enumerator or Array of Arrays of 2 Reals, CoordinateSpaces enumerators, AnchorPoint enumerators, BoundingBoxLimits enumerators or Long Integers. |
withMatrix |
Array of 6 Reals |
Transform matrix. Can accept: Array of 6 Reals or TransformationMatrix. |
replacingCurrent |
Array of MatrixContent enumerators LongInteger |
Transform components to consider; providing this optional parameter causes the target's existing transform components to be replaced with new values. Without this parameter, the given matrix is concatenated onto the target's existing transform combining the effect of the two. Can accept: MatrixContent enumerator, Array of MatrixContent enumerators or Long Integer. (Optional) |
consideringRulerUnits |
If true then a ruler based origin is interpreted using ruler units rather than points. The default value is false. This parameter has no effect unless the reference point is specified relative to a page. (Optional) (default: false) |
String transformAgain ()
Transforms the Button using the last transformation performed on any object. Transformations include moving, rotating, shearing, scaling, and flipping.
String transformAgainIndividually ()
Transforms the Button using the last transformation performed on any Button. Transformations include moving, rotating, shearing, scaling, and flipping.
String transformSequenceAgain ()
Transforms the Button using the last sequence of transform operations performed on any single object or performed at the same time on any group of objects. Transformations include moving, rotating, shearing, scaling, and flipping.
String transformSequenceAgainIndividually ()
Transforms the Button using the last sequence of transformations performed on any single object or performed at the same time on any group of objects. Transformations include moving, rotating, shearing, scaling, and flipping.
TransformationMatrix transformValuesOf (in:CoordinateSpaces)
Get the transformation values of the page item.
