Save position of the objects

I'm trying to make a record to a text file positions of graphical objects. The objects, in my example, are three and its can drag. Therefore, you want to save as a text file its positions and then the opposite from the file set the positions.

Code:

for ( i = 1; i < 4; i++)
{
var names = "Image" + i
var x_coord = names.GetXPosition()
var y_coord = names.GetYPosition()
var coord = "[" + names + "]" + "\n" + "x = " + x_coord + "\n" + "y = " + y_coord
var textObj = OpenFile("coord.ini")
textObj.Write(coord)

Of course this solution does not work, because insertion of variables (names) instead of the graphical object is not allowed:(

How can i save the position of all required graphics on the page?

Another question. Users are asked to be able to create text commentary (like sticky) in the publication. To the user himself could create a new text object and write it several phrases. Maybe have someone ready solution to this problem?

Thank you for the assistance

Found a solution for the first part of my question:

Code:

for ( i = 1; i < 4; i++)
{
var names = "Image" + i
var x = this.FindChild( names)
var y = this.FindChild( names)
x_coord = x.GetXPosition()
y_coord = y.GetYPosition()
var coord = "[" + names + "]" + "\n" + "x = " + x_coord + "\n" + "y = " + y_coord + "\n"
var textObj = OpenFile(SYSTEM_PUBLICATION_DIR + "coord.ini")
textObj.Write(coord)

Now you can save the positions of any objects in the publication as a file and when it is required to recover this position. Great!

For the second part there is no...

I have a new complexity to the opening of ini-files.

The script above get the path of the ini-file by using action File Browse. This opens a standard windows dialog box and the user selects the desired file. But if the user clicks Cancel, the script will still work and all the graphics will have coordinates equal to zero. I tried to set the conditions (if (path == "")), but it does not help.

Are there any analog File Browse action with scripts? To be able to set an action on pressing "Cancel"?

Opus has two special variable types - null and undefined. Check for null for dialogue boxes. undefined is mostly for object properties.

Many thanks Mack!
You helped me very. Never knew about "undefined"
After action File Browse need to add script:

Code:

if (myPath != undefined)
{
set_coords ()
}
