Hi,

I've this script:

tell document 1 of application "InDesign 2.0.2"
	activate
	set theSelection to selection
	set theClass to class of item 1 of theSelection
	if theClass is in {oval, rectangle, polygon} then
		set theTarget to theSelection
	else if theClass is in {PDF, EPS, image} then
		set theTarget to parent of theSelection
	end if
end tell

When the "direct tool selection" is selected, I've an error on the line: "set theTarget to parent of theSelection".
Two solutions: 1) anybody know the correct syntax to avoid this problem?
2) How can I change the tool (direct tool selection -> tool selection) ?

TIA.

Olivier.
