Create command to select the layer with a specific name.

The layer selection in the history is not reflected and does not allow me to create a command to select a layer with a specific name (for example "eye"). Having this function, it would be useful to select in a character face setup.

function selectLayerF(s){

var tl = fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline();
for(var i=0;i<tl.layers.length;i++){
if(tl.layers[i].name == s){
tl.setSelectedLayers(i);
break;
}
}
}

Where would I have to change the name for the command to work, e.g. "eye".

don't change anything. you just call selecLayerF passing the layer name you want selected. eg, selectLayerF("eye")
