Working with ScriptUI

JavaScripts can make, create, and define user-interface elements using an Adobe scripting component
named ScriptUI. ScriptUI gives scripters a way to create floating palettes, progress bars, and interactive
dialog boxes that are far more complex than InCopy's built-in
This does not mean, however, that user-interface elements written using Script UI are not accessible to
users. InCopy scripts can execute scripts written in other scripting languages using the method.
