DaniWeb IT Discussion Community - Photoshop - javascript slice : error : copy command not available??

Hi,

Good Morning.

I wanted to slice one image to tiles and i got a script for it. I did not had a photoshop so I got Photoshop CS2 Version 9.0. This script was working fine but it says error over a copy command.

    // We make sure our source image is the active document

    var srcDoc = activeDocument;

              

    //Select Area and Copy

    srcDoc.selection.select(Array (Array(MyXO, MyYO), Array(MyXL, MyYO), Array(MyXL, MyYL), Array(MyXO, MyYL)), SelectionType.REPLACE, 0, false);    

     srcDoc.selection.copy();

            

     //Paste to new Doc

     var pasteDoc = documents.add(PixelWidth, PixelHeight, srcDoc.resolution, "Paste Target");

     pasteDoc.paste();

     pasteDoc = null;



    //Save New Doc

    var saveMe = activeDocument;

The error shown is

Error 8800: General Photoshop error occurred.The command copy is not currently available.LIne 69 -> srcDoc.Selection.Copy();

What is the replacment command that i could use for it or what is the command that i could use over any versions....

I could not find the Scripts menu option below automate where i could browse to this script and get the slicing in version 7. I could gind the scripts option ibelow Automate in files menu in Version 9 though but this says this error.

I hope here to have photoshop experts who could help me out.

regards

Harish

Observation: before showing the above pop-up error -> it makes the first 7 slice as set in the variables.
