Hi John,
Nice to know that you remember me! This forum basically doesn't--after I left Adobe, I had to get a new Adobe ID. Which is why I seem to have only posted <25 messages.:-)
Sadly, I'm mostly too busy *using* InDesign scripting to get here, these days.
Sorry about the ScriptUI examples in the InDesign tutorial. My thinking was that ScriptUI had so many examples of its own that I didn't need to add more in the InDesign-specific scripting documentation. But I agree that it's hard to sort out which DOM is which! I'm also not sure of the state of many of the examples--most of that was taken on by other people from CS 5.5 on (I was working on the CS Extension Builder, at that point). It doesn't really look like many of them have been touched since then.
Peter Kahrel's ScriptUI documentation is really good--as is everything else Peter does--thanks to Larry G. Schneider for providing a link.
Thanks,
Ole
