mytext.fillcolor =  myrt_slogancolout.contents;

 

 

}

function mytextcontent(mytext1)

{

    var mytextout = app.activedocument.textframes.itembyname(mytext1);

    return mytextout;

}

 

thanks...

hi indeed referencing items located on current spread when :

myobj = app.activewindow.activespread.pageitems.itembyname("frmleft_tongue");

 

you should able extend call using

 

var items = app.activedocument.allpageitems; var n = items.length; while (n--) {    if ( items[n].name == "some name" ) {    //do item   }  } 

 

hth
