Find overflow Text

hi every 1

 

is there script find text boxes overflow text (like in indesign overset text)

in framemaker, sub columns (children of text frames) have overflowed property. can use see how works:

 

var doc = app.activedoc;

var flow = doc.firstflowindoc;

 

while (flow.objectvalid()) {

   

    var textframe, subcol;

   

    // skip unnamed flows.

    if (flow.name !== "") {

        // last textframe , last sub column.

        textframe = flow.lasttextframeinflow;

        subcol = textframe.lastsubcol;

        if (subcol.overflowed === 1) {

            alert ("textframe overflowed.");

        }

    }

    flow = flow.nextflowindoc;

}

 

in reality, have more practical when find overflowed sub column, select , scroll it. please let me know if have questions or comments. thanks.
