Applescript relink problem with indesign

Hi
I have a problem with my applescript code on indesign.
The object relink function doesn't work ...

Here is my code :

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
if document 1 exists then
tell document 1
set chem to "TRAFIC:999:999998:Bonzai.gif"
set mylink to name of link 1 as Unicode text
relink link mylink to chem
update mylink
display dialog "ok"
end tell
end if
end tell

This error appears on the relink line : +Link "Bonzai.gif" of document 1 doesn't understand the relink message+
(end of the error message is a translation of french to english)

Any idea ?

Regards

Hello

Try something like this. Not tested.


tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
 if document 1 exists then
 tell document 1
 set chem to "TRAFIC:999:999998:Bonzai.gif"
 set mylink to link 1
 relink mylink to chem
 update mylink
 end tell
 end if
end tell

or


tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
 if document 1 exists then
 tell document 1
 set chem to "TRAFIC:999:999998:Bonzai.gif"
 tell link 1
 relink to chem
 update
 end tell
 end tell
 end if
end tell

Good luck,
H

Hi, and welcome

give this a shot::

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
if document 1 exists then
tell document 1
relink link "TEST.psd" to alias "Macintosh HD:Users:Budgie:Desktop:TEST.psd" -- create full path to your link as alias
try
update link "TEST.psd"
end try
end tell
end if
end tell
