Find Master Page A and apply Master Page B

hi,

 

here's i've written:

 

var mydoc = app.documents[0];     var mymasterspreads = mydoc.masterspreads;     var mypages = mydoc.pages(appliedmaster("a"));     for(n=0;n<mypages.length;n++){         mypages[n].appliedmaster = mymasterspreads.itembyname("b");     }; 

 

of course, doesn't work [ easy beginner me!  ]

 

thanks in advance debugging it! 

close, (unless there's property lists pages master page applied to, don't remember offhand), you'll have loop follows:

 

var mydoc = app.documents[0]; var mymasterspreads = mydoc.masterspreads; var thespread = mymasterspreads.itembyname("a"); var mypages = mydoc.pages; (n = 0; n < mypages.length; n++){      if (mypages[n].appliedmaster == thespread){           mypages[n].appliedmaster = mymasterspreads.itembyname("b");      }; }; 

 

i haven't tested this, general approach...
