Hi!

I need a jsfl command to create a new file from an .fla file that located in my app. Something like this:

fl.createDocument("htmlcanvas", "C:\Program Files (x86)\MyApp\FLATemplates\300x600.fla);

I've searched for a long time but it seems like there aren't any command like this exist.

Any Ideas?

Thank you!!!

Hi.

I think a workaround here would be to open the document and then convert it to the format that you want afterwards.

Hi!

var fileURI = "file:///C:/Users/...PC_300x600.fla";
var doc = an.openDocument(fileURI);
	doc.convertToDoc("", 'htmlcanvas', false);
	doc = an.openDocument(fileURI);
	doc.close(false);

The code above did open the document then convert it. But it's not the expected behavior since Animate force me to save the new file. I need it to remain unsaved, just like when you use File > New from Template...

Thank you!

You need to provide a destination path to the convertToDoc method. Something like this:

var newType = "htmlcanvas";
var fileURI = FLfile.platformPathToURI("<platform_path_to_the_doc>");
var doc = an.openDocument(fileURI);
var destinationURI = doc.pathURI.slice(0, doc.pathURI.lastIndexOf("/")) + "/" + doc.name.slice(0, -4) + "_" + newType;

doc.convertToDoc(destinationURI, newType, false);

if that existed it would be in the flfile methods.
