Problems writing metadata.

just when thought had working wrong. happening have custom schema loaded on 1 file. if load on 1 file indesign remembers , script works fine. if not loaded things go wrong. need happen through script not loading indesign.

 

heres basics.

 

var mydocument=app.activedocument; var myjobnum=mydocument.name.slice(0,5); var mypoo=mydocument.metadatapreferences; (mypoo){             if (externalobject.adobexmpscript == undefined) {             externalobject.adobexmpscript = new             externalobject("lib:adobexmpscript");             }               xmp = new xmpmeta();              var mynewcolor=setproperty("http://www.hjedesign.com/metadata/1.0/", "color", selectedcolor,);             var mynewyear=setproperty("http://www.hjedesign.com/metadata/1.0/", "year",  selectedyear,);             var mynewsize=setproperty("http://www.hjedesign.com/metadata/1.0/", "trimsize", selectedsize,);             var mynewsize=setproperty("http://www.hjedesign.com/metadata/1.0/", "specialinstructions", selectedinst,);         } 

 

wich work fine when custom schema has been loaded not work @ if don't. if try setproperty tells me have , unregistered schema.
