Hi Iow,
in my collection I have found two scripts: one which swaps the selected frames of pictures and one which swaps the contents of the selected frames:
1. Swap rectangles
// swapRectangles.jsx
var mySelection = app.selection
if (mySelection.length == 2)
{
var coords1 = mySelection[0].geometricBounds;
var coords2 = mySelection[1].geometricBounds;
var diff = [0, 0];
diff[1] = coords1[0] - coords2[0];
diff[0] = coords1[1] - coords2[1];
mySelection[1].move(undefined, diff);
diff[0] = diff[0]*-1;
diff[1] = diff[1]*-1;
mySelection[0].move(undefined, diff);
}
2. Swap contents of rectangles
// swapRectanglesContents.jsx
var mySelection = app.selection;
if (mySelection.length == 2)
{
var firstLink = mySelection[0].allGraphics[0].itemLink.filePath;
var secondLink = mySelection[1].allGraphics[0].itemLink.filePath;
mySelection[0].place(secondLink);
mySelection[1].place(firstLink);
}
The script above are JavaScripts.
Maybe they can be some help for your to create the AppleScripts.
