Basil.js and ExtendScript in Indesign / How can I style textFrames? -

after svg elements placed/drawn in indesign, wanna change style some or elements. in example style textframes while drawn. example works.

but how can change style after textframes placed?

i wanna use skewing angle (applied textframe) , rotationangle (look in example -> forloop)

i tried following: r.textframes.shearangle=20; , doc.textframes.add({shearangle:20}); ...but both don‘t work.

    #includepath "~/documents/;%userprofile%documents";     #include "basiljs/bundle/basil.js";      // script shows how load data      // basil further usage.      // document working needs saved @ least once.      // data needs in folder next document      // folder needs named "data"      // take output of js console of estk     function draw() {       var doc = b.doc();       b.clear(doc); // clear doc       b.units(b.mm); // use mm       var ytextframe = 195;       // scripts name// containing folder// name of script without extension // add .indd extension       var fname = file($.filename).parent.fsname + '/' + ($.filename.split('/')[$.filename.split('/').length - 1]).split('.')[0] + '.indd';       // , save       doc.save(fname, false, 'basil', true); //save file next script        // code goes here -----------       var filecontent = b.loadstring("data.json"); // load text file       b.println(filecontent.constructor.name); // take @ kind of content have       var json = b.json.decode(filecontent); // transform json       b.println(json.constructor.name); // take again json       b.println(json.description); // print file       // loop entries       (var = 0; < 5; i++) {         b.println(json.laundry_care_instructions[i].instruction); // take @ entry         b.println(json.laundry_care_instructions[i].instruction.length); // how many characters entry have         var r =b.text(json.laundry_care_instructions[i].instruction, 10 + 7 * i, ytextframe, b.width - 20, 7).properties={rotationangle:90, shearangle:20};// create text box entry // // skewing angle applied textframe        }       // end of code ---------      }     b.go(); 

you got it. in code variable r textframe object.

so should be:

r.shearangle = 20;  

see tomorrow in class ;-)

edit1:

as said in comments. code

var r = b.text("txt",x,y,width, height).properties = {something:10}; 

returns properties object. not textframe. remove .properties part , benedikts , way should work.

edit2:

benedikts way not work. following error.

error: object not support property or method 'shearangle' 

@benedikt: shearangle not text property. pageitems textframe, rectangle, oval , on. there way in basil.js set properties these? , how nested properties? setup new question that.
