What is the code to move the currently selected object up one layer?
For example:
I want sel[j] to be positioned above sel[j-1];
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var item = doc.selection;
sel = items;
for (var i = 0; i < sel.length; i++) {
};
Hi rob day.
move()?
For example,
how do I use it? If possible, I'd like to get it done in one go.
how do I use it?
var d = app.activeDocument
//a selection on the bottom layer
var s = d.selection[0]
//this doesn’t do anything because s
//is the only object on the item Layer named "Gray"
s.bringForward()
//make a new layer
var ns = makeLayer(d, "New Gray Layer");
//moves the selected page item to New Gray Layer
// note that the parameter has to be a reference to an item Layer
s.move(ns)
/**
* Makes a new named Layer
* @ param the document to add the layer
* @ param layer name
* @ return the new layer
*/
function makeLayer(d, n){
if (d.layers.itemByName(n).isValid) {
return d.layers.itemByName(n);
} else {
return d.layers.add({name:n});
}
}
