Stage Select - Library organize

I'm looking for a script where you select items on the stage > Run a command script and Flash moves those items to a folder in the library, existing or new folder that is.

If anyone knows of such a script or a way to do it in Flash CC please let me know as that would be super useful.

Cheers

Frank

Correct answer kglad

you can also use jsfl:

var doc = fl.getDocumentDOM();

var library = doc.library;

var selectAll = doc.selectAll();

var selectA = doc.selection;

for(var i=0;i<selectA.length;i++){

if(selectA.libraryItem){

moveToF('folder1',selectA.libraryItem.name);

}

}

function moveToF(folder,item){

if(!library.itemExists(folder)){

library.newFolder(folder);

}

library.moveToFolder(folder,item);

}

    Any symbol instance on the stage is already going to be in the library somewhere. So you want a script for reorganizing the library? Why would these symbols not have been created in the correct folder to begin with?

    Thanks for the reply Clay! really appreciate it

    to Answer your Question:

    Sadly because I'm not that organized when making them and things just get created in the root when I'm working quickly on animation or a scene, then I have to go moving things one by one

    Errr... why one by one? Animate supports standard ctrl and shift multi-selecting in the library perfectly well.
