I am trying run the LabelGraphicsMenu.jsx script on InDesign CS3 and I get an error that says: "Cannot execute script in target 'session'!" Is this a new method used with CS4?

I am trying to have a script in which I can add a graphic label such as a caption to an image that is currently selected.

A) Should I be using this script and is there a way to fix the error?
AND
B) Is there a better approach?

Thanks,

Justin M.

Are you trying to run the script from ESTK? If so, that's the problem. You can either run it from the panel or comment out the line that calls for the target engine. In CS4, you can run scripts in ESTK that call for a target engine, but that was not the case in CS3.

If I am correct you must first execute the script from the scripts panel so the session for the targetengine is set in cs3. I run into this problem when first trying to run the script from estk. But usually corrects itself once you run it first from scripts panel.

1. Open script in ESTK. (Make sure its linked to application).
2. From Scripts panel execute script.
3. Try running script from ESTK
4. You should see the targetengine changes to session instead of main.

Thanks Gary,

I was able to get it running from ESTK
