Can't Select a Layer by Name in JSFL

[GlobalCreative]

I'm stuck with trying to select a layer by name.
I must be missing something super basic but I can't figure it out.

var dom = fl.getDocumentDOM();
var timeline = dom.getTimeline();

var targetLayer = timeline.findLayerIndex('Keys')
if (targetLayer !== undefined) {
	fl.trace(targetLayer)
	timeline.currentLayer = targetLayer;}

// If the target layer is not found, create a new layer and select it
else {
	timeline.addNewLayer('Keys');}

 The fl.trace(targetLayer) returns a number (7), but the selected layer doesn't change. I also tried setSelectedLayers with the same result.

timeline.setSelectedLayers(targetLayer);

 If I put a plain number in place of targetLayer it selects that layer no problem. Is this a bug or is there a work around?

targetLayer (if it's defined) is an array.  ie, if you use unique layer names, try:

timeline.setSelectedLayers(targetLayer[0]);

That makes sense, thank you!

you're welcome.

Hi.

Please try this:

var tl = fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline();
var layerIndex = tl.findLayerIndex("Keys");
tl.setSelectedLayers(layerIndex[0]);
