My issue is a highly-specific one related to creating an action in Illustrator revolving around the use of this script: forums.adobe.com/thread/732621
The script allows for you to randomly populate an outline with circles of varying size and spacing easily. When running it on my own there are no issues, however, when I'm trying to set-up an action to perform on a line of text I run into 2 issues.


I have to manually hit enter for a dialogue box to proceed with the script.
I'm unable to perform this action simultaneously on all of the text.


This gif is the desired effect done manually.

I've overcome the issue of having to manually edit the values for the circle fill by changing the default values to the correct ones I need for my project however I can't figure out how to make the script perform on multiple objects and then to ignore the dialogue box all together and just perform the action.

And pointers or help would be awesome, my scripting skills are beginner at best.

Here's a link to my version of the script with the values tweaked.
