Examples

The following example demonstrates TextFrameCollection.addAnchored in a practical document-editing workflow. It creates and inserts a new text frame which is anchored to the specified text position. It has the specified horizontal alignment and a textflow which is given through the insertionMode parameter. Anchored text frames are moved with the text.

function onTxError(error) {
    console.error("TX Text Control error:", error.msg);
    error.handled = true;
}

TXTextControl.textFrames.addAnchored(
    { width: 2880, height: 1440 },
    TXTextControl.HorizontalAlignment.Center,
    -1,
    TXTextControl.TextFrameInsertionMode.AsCharacter,
    function(textFrame) {
        if (!textFrame) {
            console.warn("No text frame was returned.");
            return;
        }
        
        console.log("add anchored result:", textFrame);
    },
    onTxError
