My script actually ended up erroring out when an item you are trying to reselect has a hidden sub item. To work around this I actually used Silly-V's move dialog script to replace my alignment actions. The result was as follows. I confirmed that it works with hidden sub items and opacity masks.
function ActionManager(){
this.currentLoadedSets = [];
this.checkLoadedSets = function(setName){
if(this.currentLoadedSets.length > 0 && this.currentLoadedSets.join("").match(setName)){
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
};
this.alertLoadedSets = function(){
var arr = [];
for (var i = 0; i < this.currentLoadedSets.length; i++) {
arr.push(this.currentLoadedSets);
}
alert(arr.join("\n"));
};
this.loadSet = function(setString, setName){
this.removeSet(setName);
var aiaFile;
if(typeof setString == "string"){
aiaFile = new File('~/ScriptAction.aia');
aiaFile.open("w");
aiaFile.write(setString);
aiaFile.close();
app.loadAction(aiaFile);
this.currentLoadedSets.push(setName);
aiaFile.remove();
return true;
} else if(setString instanceof File){
aiaFile = setString;
if(aiaFile.exists){
app.loadAction(aiaFile);
this.currentLoadedSets.push(setName);
return true;
} else {
alert("File '" + decodeURI(aiaFile) + "' was not found!");
return false;
}
}
};
this.playAction = function(actionName, setName, force){
if(this.checkLoadedSets(setName) || (force === true)){
app.doScript(actionName, setName);
return true;
} else {
if(typeof this.debugLevel != "undefined" && this.debugLevel === true){
alert("ActionManager: the set '" + setName + "' is not found to be currently loaded.");
}
return false;
}
};
this.removeSet = function(setName){
var errorFlag = false;
while(!errorFlag){
try {
app.unloadAction(setName, "");
} catch (e) {
errorFlag = true;
}
}
var arr = [];
var nm;
for (var i = 0; i < this.currentLoadedSets.length; i++) {
nm = this.currentLoadedSets;
if(nm != setName){
arr.push(nm);
}
};
this.currentLoadedSets = arr;
};
};
