Reversing layer order

[Lachlan D]

Is there a way to reverse layer order?

I can't see any option to do it, or a way in JSFL to set a layer index.

// Get the total number of layers in the document
var numLayers = fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().layers.length;

// Loop through each layer and set its new index
for (var i = 0; i < numLayers; i++) {
  var currentLayer = fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().layers[i];
  var newIndex = numLayers - i;

  // Set the new index for the layer
  //  ????
}

Hi.

Use the reorderLayer method from the Timeline object. Like this:

var dom = fl.getDocumentDOM();
var tl = dom.getTimeline();
var layers = tl.layers;
	
layers.forEach(function(layer, index)
{
    tl.reorderLayer(0, layers.length - 1 - index, false);
});

I hope it helps.

Thanks, I tweaked it to work on selected layers:

var dom = fl.getDocumentDOM();
var tl = dom.getTimeline();
var selectedLayers = tl.getSelectedLayers();
	
selectedLayers.forEach(function(layer, index)
{
    tl.reorderLayer(0, selectedLayers.length - 1 - index, false);
});

Also, is there newer docs for jsfl then cs5? It seems weird, but I havn't found anything more recent.

Great! You're welcome!

The most recent version of the JSAPI documentation is in GitHub:
