The ExtendScript Toolkit
The ExtendScript Toolkit provides an interactive development and testing environment for ExtendScript in
all JavaScript-enabled Adobe applications. It includes a full-featured, syntax-highlighting text editor with
Unicode capabilities and multiple undo/redo support. The Toolkit is the default editor for ExtendScript
files, which use the extension
.jsx.
The Toolkit includes a JavaScript debugger that allows you to:
X Single-step through JavaScript scripts (JS or JSX files) inside an application.
X Inspect all data for a running script.
X Set and execute breakpoints.
When you double click a JSX file in the platform’s windowing environment, the script runs in the Toolkit,
unless it specifies a particular target application using the
#target directive. For more information, see
“
Selecting a debugging target” on page 27 and “Preprocessor directives” on page 233.
T
IP: When you have completed editing and debugging your JavaScript script, you can choose to save it as
a binary file (with the extension JSXBIN), using File > Export as Binary. The script loader recognizes both
source code and compiled code. Any application can execute a compiled script. If an application
recognizes the execution of compiled JavaScript, it lists JSXBIN files along with JSX files in any list of
available scripts.”
Configuring the Toolkit window
The ExtendScript Toolkit initially appears with a default workspace arrangement, containing a default
configuration of tabbed panels and Script Editor document windows contained in a parent frame. The
arrangement is highly configurable, through the Window menu, the context menus of individual panels
and panel groups, or directly using drag and drop.
