Export all open files to jpeg = bug?

[Guest]

hi there!

I'm currently writing a script that exports all the open documents to a JPEG.

this works except for one little thingy:

instead of exporting all the documents, it exports only the active one, with all the other document names...

so for example:

3 files opened, 3 files exported with a different, correct filename, BUT every jpeg shows the active file.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, so if someone could jump in = AWESOME!

TY!

this is my code:

try {
    if (app.documents.length > 0 ) {

        // Get the folder to save the files into
        var destFolder = null;
        destFolder = Folder.selectDialog( 'Select folder for JPG files.', '~' );
     
        if (destFolder != null) {
            var options, i;
            
            // Get the Flash export options to be used.
            var options = new ExportOptionsJPEG();
            // You can tune these by changing the code in the getOptions() function.
                   
            for ( i = app.documents.length-1; i >=0 ; i-- ) {
                // Get the file to export the document as swf intos
                var targetFile = new File( destFolder + '/' + app.documents.name +".jpg");
           
                // Export to flash
                app.documents.exportFile(targetFile, ExportType.JPEG, options);
                app.documents.close();
            }
            alert( 'Documents exported as JPG' );
        }
    }
    else{
        throw new Error('There are no document open!');
    }
}
catch(e) {
    alert( e.message, "Script Alert", true);
}

Changing your 'for' loop to a 'while' loop and working with 'activeDocument' rather than documents works fine for me…

Like so…

try {

    if (app.documents.length > 0 ) {

        // Get the folder to save the files into

        var destFolder = null;

        destFolder = Folder.selectDialog( 'Select folder for JPG files.', '~' );

        if (destFolder != null) {

            var options, i;

            // Get the Flash export options to be used.

            var options = new ExportOptionsJPEG();

            // You can tune these by changing the code in the getOptions() function.

            while (app.documents.length > 0) {

                // Get the file to export the document as swf intos

                var targetFile = new File( destFolder + '/' + app.activeDocument.name +".jpg");

                // Export to flash

                app.activeDocument.exportFile(targetFile, ExportType.JPEG, options);

                app.activeDocument.close();

            }

            alert( 'Documents exported as JPG' );

        }

    }

    else{

        throw new Error('There are no document open!');

    }

}

catch(e) {

    alert( e.message, "Script Alert", true);

}
