Javascript get all Layers inside a Layer Group tree

[gespinha]

Hi there,

How can I get all the Layers inside a group tree from an extension?

I have the following tree:

Group1

> Layer 1

> Layer 2

> Group 2

> > Layer 3

> > Layer 4

> > Group 3

> > > Layer 5

> > > Layer 6

> Layer 3

So in this case I should get this: Layer 1, Layer 2, Layer 3, Layer 4, Layer 5, Layer 6

Thanks in advance

You need to use a recursive function then you do whatever you want with all the layers in the array layerList:

var doc = activeDocument;
var layerList = new Array()
getLayers(doc);

function getLayers(lSet){

    for(var i=0;i<lSet.layers.length;i++){
        doc.activeLayer = lSet.layers;
        if(doc.activeLayer.typename == 'LayerSet'){
            if(doc.activeLayer.layers.length>0){
                getLayers (doc.activeLayer)
                }
            }
        else{
            layerList.push(doc.activeLayer)
            }        
        };//end loop
    };//end function
