Unlocking sublayers

[mikeAtJB]

I am trying to resize some art to specific dimensions. The script ran fine except for 1 file and it drove me crazy trying to find why 1 layer would not resize. I checked to make sure the layer wasn't locked:

and it looked fine. I used the line currentLayer.locked=false; to unlock any locked ones. Finally, I checked the sublevels and, sure enough, there was a level locked.

Is there a way to unlock all sublayers?

As an option:

function unlockedSubLayers ( layers ) {
    var i = layers.length;
    if ( i ) {
        while ( i-- ) {
            layers.locked = false;
            unlockedSubLayers( layers.layers );
        }
    }
}
unlockedSubLayers( activeDocument.layers );

I had tried something very similar and it didn't work.

You're right. Could explain why my unlock function didn't work. New to javascript. How would I unlock a locked raster item?

Matter of fact that doesn't look like a locked sub-layer, it looks like a locked raster item!

function unlock ( items ) {
    var i = items.length;
    if ( i ) {
        while ( i-- ) {
            items.locked = false;
            if ( items.typename === 'GroupItem' ) {
                unlock( items.pageItems );
            }
                else if ( items.typename === 'Layer' ) {
                    unlock( items.layers );
                    unlock( items.pageItems );
                }
        }
    }
}
unlock( activeDocument.layers );
