That is my entire script with notes to help, my script will not run it keeps saying there is an error on a different line everytime I run it and the line that it says the error is on is something simple like .alignChildren = "left"; I'm at a loss as to why it stopped working.
My question is this, after I get it going again I made a mistake when I wrote this because I was testing it with a single path item to make sure that it moved to the template, resized and saved but when I try it with a bunch of different objects it breaks even if try and group them all together first. It won't copy() the entire selection so I added in a section to the script near line 50 that takes all the path items of the selection and puts them into a group. I've been going over this and over this and running it and testing it since I got this done and I can't get it to work, I'm at my wits end and looking for help.
All I need it to do is the following in the correct order;
copy();
openTemp ();
paste();
centerArt ();
resizeart ();
savefile ()
putname ();
separately each function works correctly but when I try and put them all together something breaks. I'll post the script that I'm using for the savefile() in the next post.
