When passing data-CDs or -DVDs on to customers I like to provide a cover containing a screenshot of the content in list-form (so that the change-dates can be verified) with background, logo, date and some graphic elements added.
Which works fine as an Action (with some small Scripts recorded in).
But what with Configurator�s capability to include Scripts I would like to move the whole thing into JavaScript so as to be able to pass a Configurator-Panel on to colleagues without them having to install separate Actions as well.
Therefore I�m looking for a way to include the generation of a relatively complex path (several hundred points, multiple subPathItems) for an illustrative logo-element in the Script.
I may be trying to use the less fitting mechanism in looking for a way to do with a Script what an Action can achieve so effortlessly with �Insert Path�, but could any of You tell me a way to get all the necessary info from an existing path into Script-form?
Or would You advise me to simply desist from the intention for Script-length-reasons/other considerations?
